    Generally, I agree.

    Imagine: you start working at the company with a good will towards them. As you learn more and see more decisions, you slowly realize how bad it is. Now you've already contributed. Then you leave.

    It might be possible to build everything with this goodwill and that's how we'd still end up with a torment nexus even if you immediately drop it.

    What I'm saying is, at one point you have to break the company fully.

    I'm not sure what more we need to wait for, if the claim "10% it ends humanity" is not enough.

      If it's "10% it ends humanity" and "20% it solves climate change and saves humanity" then is it still bad?
