I agree. Ethics is at the forefront of everything I do both personally and professionally. I used to serve on an ethics in business council. All the investments we make are grounded in genuinely improving the world. It’s unfortunate that so much money flows to certain VC firms when people like me exist since I reckon I’m much more aligned with what the general population wants.

I'm someone in the startup space that's sworn off raising capital and talks to a lot of founders. I can say that if you're willing to take an anti-Zionist position, you will get incredible deal flow from frustrated founders and definitely make your own lane. I know how difficult that is in this space though.

You sound like a pretty good dude

The study of Ethics is such a double edged sword. On one hand you have people who study ethics to think about how to treat people well, on the other hand you have people who study ethics in order to treat people as poorly as possible while still being "ethical"

I don't have a ton of firsthand exposure to the decision making process of huge corporations, but I imagine they mostly listen to the second group of ethicists
