Why would for profits not make the world a better place?

For-profit does not mean “shareholders and ROI over user” or something. You can do for-profit and not enshtfy and make the world better. That’s my goal at least.

If profit is the objective, it will turn into growth-at-all-costs machine because that's how the mathematics works.

If, however, the objective is, say, improve as many lives as possible with the constraint of being profitable, it's definitely possible to do good. You just have to make sure you understand what level of profitability is sufficient, which is rare but doable.

It’s not definitionally true, but it happens often enough that there’s no denying a clear trend.
