Are there stories of Warren Buffet doing evil/shady things? He just seems too good to be true. Love this guy. http://usat.ly/1BNfop5

@MikeMcCorms I think that's his superpower: he's figured out how the structure things so he doesn't *need to*.

@paulbaumgart Interesting take. I’m just astonished by his ability to continuously debunk the “nice guys finish last” mentality in business.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@paulbaumgart And also very heartened by it. Easy to feel jaded in a world of “evil billionaires.”1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@MikeMcCorms My sense is the success ranking goes: competent nice guys > competent evil guys > incompetent evil guys > incompetent nice guys

@paulbaumgart Makes sense. Also hard to parse “nice” vs “evil.” Ex. 90s Bill Gates vs today’s Bill Gates. Fine line between drive and evil?1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@MikeMcCorms The comforting thing is that, for a given amount of ambition, it tends to be somewhat easier to do good than evil.

@MikeMcCorms (With the caveat that this is only true in the context of a reasonably well-designed political system.)
