Responsibility, Dark side of D2C, and the world's biggest suspended IPO - The Weekly Zazz #12
It's our responsibility to learn and evolve in order to create a better impact on yourself and others.
The funny thing about responsibility is that no one takes it. People will bring legality, morality, ethics into the picture, but won't step up and take responsibility.
Not taking responsibility is how you thrive in a capitalistic economy. There's one goal and nothing else. Then there are stories created, emotions formed, in order to sell. Irrespective of whether it's needed or not, or whether it's good for humanity or for the environment or not.
Only when someone becomes responsible can they then understand their impact on others. Then you don't have to scam anyone, you will do it with a certain responsibility on your shoulder, you will do it for humanity, and for the planet.
Until that doesn't come by yourself, no morals, no ethics, and no law is going to save anyone.
