I feel like the investment bankers were ethically at fault for bringing businesses they knew weren't ready to the public market. Just because it worked once didn't mean they should throw their rules out the window.
I found it hypocritical that investment consultants, whose job it was to inform people about investment opportunities they didn't understand instead started informing people about tech companies saying "who knows how successful internet things are!" without themselves knowing how the internet worked or whether or not it'd be successful.
I feel some blame rests on the tech company owners who should've had some idea of the risk of their venture. I'm assuming they took the advice of the bankers as proof of concept, and assumed that meant they'd succeed. They were the experts and were listening to others!
It bothers me that the people who did this are still employed, and are currently finding other backdoor methods to getting rich that we just haven't caught on to yet.
As much as I enjoyed every aspect of Professor Knoutson's lecture, there was one aspect I disagreed with. When talking about funnels, he mentioned there's a point where a boy gets so deep in his funnel and I disagree both with that assumption and the implications it would mean were that true.
I think we need to spend more time looking at the actual physical reasoning behind different temptations and worldly things rather than just chalking everything up to spirituality.
I think though we could safely put together a missionary reunion knowing that our creating it doesn't make us responsible for the actions of potentially wayward missionaries, I do however think our compassion for those missionaries should influence our decision.
I like his approach to handling issues with pornography, basically making it an issue of chemistry rather than spirituality.
My question for how to support women who are harassed by consumers rather than coworkers wasn't directly answered, so I'm still looking for a solution.
A lot of the issues regarding prejudiced when it comes to women stems from a general sexist environment in the country. It needs to be rooted out on the home level before a natural fix reaches the workplace.
As important as it is for women to learn how to interact in an industry dominated by men, I think men can work to create an easier environment for women to acclimate to.
