  • Because for centuries, western society has valued one thing above pretty all else: winning.

    If someone’s an asshole, but they’ve gotten on top in something, people may say, “They’re an asshole, but hey you gotta admire that they’re so good at [insert subject].”

    That’s why so many people admire Ray Kroc. Yeah, so what if he brought McDonald’s to a position of national and international dominance? That doesn’t mean he’s worthy of our respect. If anything, the way he rose to the top, being as disgusting as it was, should mean he’s anything but worthy of our respect.

    Victory in something by itself shouldn’t be respected; what you do to get to victory matters equally as much, if not more.
