43) Corporate “Personhood” is blasphemy, as it bestows rights reserved for conscious and empathetic souls on to a profit-seeking human invention. Corporations are legally bound to pursue ONLY the most profitable path. Actual humans also have Empathy, Love and Compassion. It's hardwired into our consciousness. In actual human life you balance the logical, the necessary procurement of food, water, and shelter (nowadaze called 'wealth') with the emotional; sense of morality, sense of empathy. That is how (normal) humans act. This is how normal humans across a wide range of demographics and cultures act. Those who call themselves 'religious' and believe humans to be 'created by a creator,' should view corporate personhood as a blasphemy upon god. Those who are secular can see that corporate personhood leads to enormous abuses and sub-optimal outcomes: poisoning of the earth; lying; greed; the worst of human nature, untempered by empathy. The entire concept needs reformation, or at least heavy tweaking, as it is currently out of balance, and as such, extremely destructive.PREVIOUS----NEXT |
