Hmm… unfortunately, not true, but I won’t go into that here. You might say that ugliness is different from market value but in terms of market value the races are not equal.

What is the liquidation value of Tether vs GS?
I’ve bought a lot of companies, not just their stock, and the value of a company begins with its liquidation value. From there it’s just your cash flow. From cash flow it’s the price of some portion of that cash flow plus your theoretical appreciation (which is mostly a in defense against inflation.) So basically the value of a biz is the liquidation value, plus the predicted returns of parking your money there, minus the cost of the business, minus some risk premium, which is the potential loss of your investment in that business. Digital anything is gambling on momentum. it’s not investing.

Psychologizing is always false, and for that matter, childish. It attributes the mind of simple women to sophisticated men. Instead what are his or anyone else’s incentives.

Misunderstood. The changes are due to changes in incentives especially reproductive responsibility, responsibility to the commons, responsibility to the traditions that have made those commons possible, obvious economic, reproductive and sexual license, dating, mating, marriage, the collapse of education, and the emergence of new social status, identity, and political bias that are the result of the excessive ascendance of the individual by the destruction of the family as the central purpose of political and social orders, so that we produce intergenerational persistence.
However the underlying instinct and intuition haven’t changed at all. They have been the same, as far as we can determine for millions of years. The singular direction of human evolution for at least the past two million if not longer, has been neotenic- the extension of the rate of maturity increasing cognitive and behavioral plasticity by the decrease in that rate of maturity and the attendant decrease in aggression and emergence (like dogs) of prosociality that fosters cooperation and the two sides of the behavioral coin: altruism and altruistic punishment.
Understanding social science is not possible without understanding behavioral economics and cognitive science. In no small part because sociology and psychology are pseudosciences and always have been.

Which is a very bad (self interested) moral metric vs ‘do they have a plan that can succeed’. Attention seeking is a category of bravado. Signaling. Marketing.
Your reaction is ego(status, self image) not wisdom. Which I do understand is hard to swallow, and harder to change.…

–“What is the compensation range and distribution of those ceo salaries, and why do they seem high – except say, for entertainment and sports figures?”–
Lesson for the average person: if you take a position as the CEO of a Fortune X company, it is similar to being elected as president, in that when you are done, your career is over. Though you might start another company, be re-hired, or asked to rescue a dying company. You can’t count on it.
So if you take the job, even if it only lasts for five to ten years, it means you must make enough money at the job to retire and devote your time to investing or other work. Because you’ll be all but unemployable.
This isn’t as true for small and midsized companies, where you can sell a company, or resign and shift to a larger company. But for large companies, the truth is, that you will accumulate criticism friends and enemies no matter what you do or how successful you are.
Compensation Range
The compensation range and distribution for CEOs, particularly of large companies like those in the Fortune 1000, vary significantly based on various factors including company size, industry, and performance.
Here is a summary of the data collected:
Average Compensation
The median total compensation for CEOs of top companies (Equilar 100) reached $22.3 million in 2022, an increase from the previous year.
For the average CEO, the tenure has been reported to be around 6.9 to 7.2 years.
Top CEO Compensation
Some of the highest-paid CEOs receive significantly larger compensation, mostly through stock options and bonuses. For instance, Elon Musk’s average yearly bonus was reported at approximately $456.8 million, Sundar Pichai at around $98.9 million, and Andy Jassy at about $53.4 million.
Salary Ranges
For CEOs in general, the average salary in the United States was reported to be around $830,600 as of December 2023, but this figure can vary widely based on several factors.
CEOs in different sectors can have varying average tenures, with those in financial services having the longest at about 8.4 years and those in energy and industrial sectors the shortest at around 6.5 years.
Factors Affecting Compensation
CEO compensation is influenced by company performance, industry-specific trends, regional economic conditions, and individual negotiation skills.
Stock awards form a significant part of CEO compensation, often aligning their interests with company performance and long-term growth.
Comparison with Other C-suite Roles
Compared to other C-suite roles, CEOs generally have longer tenures and higher compensation. For example, chief financial officers have an average tenure of 4.7 years with varying compensation based on the sector.
This data reflects the high level of responsibility and expectations placed on CEOs, as well as the current market dynamics influencing executive compensation.

A JOURNALIST TESTIFIES.
Who, what, where, when, why (rational incentives), how. Stating nothing that couldn’t be testified to in court.
We haven’t had journalists in at least two to three generations.
We have had reporters.
We have had gossips.
We have had activists.
We…

Let’s take the simple philosophical trope and expose it to both scientific (testimonial) and legal (incentive) scrutiny.
If a tree falls in the woods, given the absence of evidence of the silence of trees falling in the woods, and someone claims the falling tree made no sound, we are left with whether trees can in fact make no sound, the individual errs, the individual is engaging in soft deceit by sophistry, or the individual is engaging in hard deceit to justify some subsequent claim by deduction, inference or abduction – most likely conflation or inflation or all of the above.
in other words the framing implied by question produces a false dichotomy which is, almost universally, how the sophomoric questions are positioned in quote ‘ philosophy ‘, and second only to abuses of grammar by the ambiguity of the copula (is,are, was, were, being, been).
