That really doesn't follow. Explosive growth guarantees amorality? What sin is inherit to success? Has envy become so embedded in our thinking that success alone is proof of guilt? Or is it just Original Sin style bullshit where everone is automatically guilty?

Far from guaranteed, but to be a moral founder you now have a second goal alongside growth. Inevitably the two will be in conflict.

Didn’t say guaranteed, I said more likely.

To succeed, you have to execute many things well and avoid bad luck. Add to this an extra constraint that one also needs integrity or morals and it will drastically reduce your success rate.

My statement will be true as long as having integrity or morals could hinder growth in some way.
