This guy may be a Phd but he's an idiot. The Question of what is the purpose of a business? And he says it is to provide product and service to the comunity and benefit the Community, Right like BP? Killing the Gulf of Mexico or the Fuckishima Reactor that has probaly just killed most of Japan.

What the fuck is this guy thinking?

The problem with "Meaning" is that most people's Meaning is Erroneous. That is why we are in this problem because many people are climate change and Peak Oil Deniers. Their Meaning is to deny these situations and events.
