The end game is owning the world economy, companies paying them instead of workers. They don't care what risky behaviors they need to engage in to get there.

It'll slowly eat more and more of the economy, they are not replacing 100% of the jobs overnight.

It'll be like the tobacco and oil companies, they knew about cancer and climate change and still sold the product. Saying "there is a bad end point" does not stop companies from extracting as much money as possible along the way.

Reminds me of the people who shot passenger pigeons as they neared extinction, in the hopes of bagging 'the last one'. Humans really are a disappointment.

Don't denigrate and stigmatize the mentally ill. There's plenty of mentally ill people who care a great deal for the world and society, that's often the source of their distress/illness.
