(cont'd from yesterday's post)
Vivek developed the ability to recognize abandoned ideas for medicines that could still help people and that could be mass produced profitably. Maybe he'll lose millions of dollars doing testing on some drugs that will never succeed. But he believes this will work and he chooses to take the risk. It's the classic picture of a startup business in a free enterprise environment.
But he stepped aside from the day-to-day CEO duties of his companies to focus on a hot issue in American life that he cares about, the wave of wokeism and its promotion by big companies.
As a young American business insider, he learned more than he wanted to know about corporate life. He appreciates the money he makes with good business ideas empowered by his talent and hard work. But he most certainly does not like the games that are played within the woke corporate bubble. He says they put up a fake progressive "do-good smoke screen" to make more money and grab more power.
"Basically, being woke means obsessing about race, gender, and sexual orientation . . . even though generations of civil rights leaders have taught us not to focus on race or gender."
