Oh yes. The problem is that people are coming out of college too ethical these days. Especially in business. We need much less ethical business leaders. That was sarcasm. This author has announced himself as a proud sociopath.

What does willingness to circumvent arbitrary systems of rules - which may or may not be aligned with desirable outcomes - have to do with ethics?

To me, ethics seems to have more to do with the good vs. evil dimension than with the lawful vs. chaotic.

In fact, doesn't the term "sociopath" seem more appropriate for people who source ethics in external rules rather than native conscience?
