I've read this comment so many times, and every time posterity proves it wrong:

> Of course [FTX/Theranos/Boeing/Turing Pharma] is proud of their work [...] they genuinely think what they're doing is right.

Is your point here that people who do wrong always or usually know they’re doing something wrong? If it is, I disagree. Most things I consider morally abhorrent are justifiable under some morality system. And I think for most humans, it’s easier to believe you’re one of the good guys than one of the bad guys.
