I was told recently by someone in a position to know that Larry Fink has been hurt by my having referred to him in these pages as a comic-book villain.<\/p>\n

\"Scott<\/a>

Scott Shepard<\/p><\/div>\n

My first reaction, this insight arising in a discussion with investment-house types, was for the bottom line: If, as seems to be the case, I\u2019m playing a cameo role as Cassandra in the WEFCU (the World Economic Forum Cinematic Universe), I really ought to be getting some royalties. Maybe it\u2019s time to get an agent.<\/p>\n

My second response was empathy. I hate to hear of anyone suffering, even Larry Fink.<\/p>\n

Third, though, was justice: Fink and the other denizens of the WEFCU behave \u2013 repeatedly and consistently, with arrogance and insouciance \u2013 like comic-book villains. And since they act particularly like the sorts of comic-book villains who want to control our lives and crush our prospects while living the life of a pampered nobility, we whom they intend to master can at very least point out the truth. Plus, one sure sign of a petty tyrant is that he doesn\u2019t tolerate being mocked.<\/p>\n

Then, though, the return to empathy. There was significant evidence, again from Fink but also from others, that the Davos types really do suffer when their attempts at world domination are aptly characterized. Fink\u00a0called<\/a>\u00a0it \u201cgetting personal,\u201d while he and many others\u00a0whined<\/a>\u00a0that, gosh golly, they just wanted to do what was good and right, and that other dastardly types were making it all so partisan. These complaints are so preposterously delusional as to beggar belief, but still: Would-be dictators are people, too, of a sort.<\/p>\n

Herewith, then, a step-by-step guide for what to do if you should wake up one morning to discover that you\u2019ve become a comic-book villain, and want to stop.<\/p>\n

1. If your dad was a decorated Nazi who\u00a0used<\/a>\u00a0slave labor to develop heavy water, try not to go on the state-controlled television network of a latter-day authoritarian regime characterized by concentration camps and slave labor to\u00a0laud<\/a>\u00a0its system of \u201cgovernment\u201d and muse about forcing it on other countries.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0If you belong to an organization run by a guy whose dad was a Nazi who used slave labor, and who has himself led the songs of praise for Chinese Communist authoritarianism, maybe drop out of that organization \u2013 but definitely resign from its\u00a0board of trustees<\/a>\u00a0and from\u00a0chairing<\/a>\u00a0major committees of that organization.<\/p>\n

3. Be particularly wary, and leave the organization particularly quickly, if it turns out that featured \u201cagenda contributors\u201d of the group have\u00a0written off<\/a>\u00a0the vast majority of humankind as \u201cmeaningless, worthless people,\u201d and\u00a0suggested<\/a>\u00a0that the way to solve one of the problems your organization insists on portraying as an existential crisis is to eliminate 15\/16ths of the human race.<\/p>\n

4 If you do hold a leading position in an authoritarian-led non-governmental organization like that, try to make sure that it isn\u2019t pretending to have its own police force, and especially try to make sure that it hasn\u2019t adopted\u00a0badges<\/a>\u00a0that look like the insignia of a force of invaders from space, come\u00a0to crush the pitiful humans. (Photo from the inestimable\u00a0James Lileks<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

5. If you\u2019ve taken it upon yourself, in violation of clear legal duties, to try to make normal people use much less \u2013 and much less-affordable \u2013 energy, make sure that you use about as much energy (or create about as much carbon) as they do, rather than\u00a0a million times as much<\/a>. And if you go to a rally to congratulate yourself for making other people\u2019s lives more difficult and more constrained, don\u2019t do it by leaving your mansion in a limo to\u00a0fly in a private jet<\/a>\u00a0to the top of the world in snowy winter to stay in an extravagant (and extravagantly heated) hotel, and in the\u00a0literal lap of luxury<\/a>\u00a0(mostly paid for by the shareholders of the multi-national mega- corporation which you head).<\/p>\n

6. If you\u2019re similarly going to take it upon yourself to\u00a0demand<\/a>\u00a0that some groups (the \u201cnon-diverse\u201d) accept being\u00a0discriminated<\/a>\u00a0against on the basis of their race, sex and orientation in order to achieve \u201cequity\u201d \u2013 which the equity proponents\u00a0define<\/a>\u00a0as equality\u00a0of outcomes<\/em>\u00a0in distribution of property and power \u2013 do a quick, two-step check. Step one: See whether you are a representative of any of the \u201cnon-diverse\u201d categories. Step two: See if you own a lot of stuff and have a lot of power. If the answer to both of those questions is yes, definitely do not start demanding that\u00a0other people<\/em>\u00a0sign up to be discriminated against to make average outcomes equal. Instead, give away all your stuff and all your power. Then maybe you can sign up for \u201cequity.\u201d You\u2019ll still be a benighted bigot, but you won\u2019t be a comic-book villain (on this count) anymore.<\/p>\n

7. Relatedly, if you belong to any organizations that assure the\u00a0hoi polloi\u00a0<\/em>that within a few years they will\u00a0own nothing and be happy<\/a>, check to see whether you own quite a lot of stuff indeed. Only comic-book villains own everything while crusading to make everyone else into peasants who must rely on them (the villains) for everything, and so bow to their will. That\u2019s \u201ckneel before Zod\u201d stuff. Not just villainous, but so tacky.<\/p>\n

8. Ditto, if you belong to an organization that\u00a0advocates the eating of bugs<\/a>, try not to do it from a world-class resort where you\u2019re eating the best of everything.<\/p>\n

9. Try to keep your lies plausible. If you\u2019ve\u00a0embraced<\/a>\u00a0a radically partisan agenda and are trying to ram it down the whole world\u2019s collective throat, don\u2019t\u00a0pretend<\/a>\u00a0that your position is somehow wholly non-partisan, and it\u2019s just that the opponents of your position are being partisan by rejecting it. (If your position isn\u2019t partisan, how do you have partisan opponents? Whether you say it or not, the only thing you can mean when you acknowledge that people disagree with you, but assert that they\u2019re partisan but you\u2019re not, is that you to speak with the power of Absolute Truth. That sort of stuff isn\u2019t even from a\u00a0good<\/em>\u00a0comic-book.)<\/p>\n

10. Relatedly, try to avoid posing as though you\u00a0speak<\/a>\u00a0for the whole world, or for society, or all the people (of which you want there to be so many less). You know that\u2019s nonsense, because you know that there are people (who are part of all the people, and part of society) who oppose you. What you\u2019re really claiming is that you are, and of right ought to be, the emperor of the world, and that your opinion is the only one that counts. Again, tone it down, Lex.<\/p>\n

Given the festival of buffoonery that is the WEFCU, this list of don\u2019ts really could go on just about forever, but I hope even the most preeningly self-regarding of the Mighty Minions of the Mountain must be getting the drift. Don\u2019t try to rule the world. Apply your big plans for social change to yourself first, and fully \u2013 and if you can\u2019t or won\u2019t, drop those big plans. Keep your ego at least somewhat in check. Don\u2019t act as though disagreement with you is illegitimate. End partnerships with people, even one-time allies and friends, who can\u2019t stick to these rules. Do unto others \u2026<\/p>\n

Doing all of that won\u2019t make you into great people, but it\u00a0will<\/em>\u00a0allow you to stop being comic-book villains. Baby steps and all.<\/p>\n

But as long as you remain cartoons of obnoxious evil, we\u2019re going to continue to say so. It\u2019s the only way you\u2019ll learn.<\/p>\n
