Does this mean there is hope of developing a vaccine that prevents people becoming MBAs?

It’s also driven by the need to earn enough money to buy just the right brand of high priced wet cat food that is the only crap the little fucker will ever eat.

I could use a little entrepreneurial spirit. Maybe I should start eating used cat litter.

Combined with the research on increased prevalence of psychopathy and selfishness in business, this confirms my prejudices about cat people.

I just ate cat poop … the second I ate the cat poop I realized eating cat poop is so life changing that I’m going to build a business empire around teaching other to eat cat poop and changing the lives of others as well and they in turn will teach others while I collect some of their proceeds. this is going to be great.

Makes sense - it’s been found to increase the likelihood of all sorts of risky, self-damaging behavior.

I should ask about this (probably again) at our SciArt hangout later tonight. I can’t access the paper, but I’ll bet the parasitologist has some views on it.

That being said, I’m tempted to market cat poo pills and sell them to entrepreneurs.
