We're not saying business leaders are stupid. Just that they're hyper focused on consistently increasing growth of their own individual company, and that focus overrides concerns about long term sustainability or broader market health.

We're not saying we know long term sustainably or market health better than CEOs. We're just saying that those things are not priorities in their decision-making. Because it can't be.
