Cue the arguments about how CEOs should not be giving shareholders money away on their personal causes and projects. This is just dumb. Nobody says that marketing is not marketing if it benefits the business‚ or HR is not ’pure’ HR if its priorities align with

Cleanthes’ argument begins by predicating that God is a benevolent and all-perfect being. This led to the study of the order and design of the universe coming from the Teleological Argument from Design. The world is the most perfect‚ complicated machine ever made. “The curious adapting of means to ends‚ throughout all nature‚ resembles exactly‚ though it much exceeds‚ the productions of human. designs‚ thought‚ wisdom‚ and intelligence.” (Cleanthes) We know what human traits it takes to make machines
