Wall Street does not claim to improve the world.

Zuckerberg for example claims that he has some goal of changing the world for the better.

Note, I think this is all a little silly when it clearly comes down to rich individuals that define most of the giving. Gates couldn’t have done so much without microsoft.

Nobody mentioned burden of proof until you, and it’s a weird ass straw man. OP was pointing out how he felt in a specific situation.

First off, you’re clearly ignoring a disagreement about what engagement is.

Secondly, it’s not clear why engagement in terms of “quick thinking and actions” is desirable. It’s a dopamine rush, not a paycheck. You persuade me to work by paying me money; the second I see achievements at work, I’m headed for the hills.
