I believe loyalty is crucial in society. I believe it\u2019s the human being sustainability. That\u2019s how we build things like family and dynasties and just good old, nice relationships. That\u2019s how we curate our world by being loyal to who and what we think is good. That\u2019s how we change<\/em> the world.<\/p>\n

Loyalty has been hacked and soiled by greed.<\/p>\n

Of course, we can be cynical all day and tell ourselves that loyalty doesn\u2019t matter or exist, fuck y’all I\u2019m about me etc. But at some point, you will be on the other side. <\/p>\n

Worse, at some point it totally destroys trust within society, which is where we\u2019re at now, a bit.<\/p>\n

Take something light like those basketball trades for instance. Demar, going to the Spurs because the team he gave everything to, and he really gave a lot, decided to \u201cdo something\u201d to win a championship. Demar has been leading the Raptors in scoring for five years? Doesn\u2019t matter. Investors want their trophy now. Same with Kawhi and his uncle. How can you want more than a team with which you won your title and made you who you are, ready to give you $221M for five years of service, and you\u2019re not happy? Because you want more perks? Damn. It\u2019s absurd, annoying and disappointing.<\/p>\n

So greed corrupts things and the world changes and moves in a way that fosters more ruthlessness and short-term vision. It\u2019s so weird (yet makes sense, we need<\/em> loyalty somewhere) then to only see loyalty being about brands and corporate stuff. People are fanatics<\/em> and will pour a lot of energy to show off how dedicated they are to a company, a brand, a product.<\/p>\n
