Funny thing - in business (as I’m war) the ones with least compassion win.

So these same people end up with the money and decide how to spend it.

It’s up to us the techies and scientists (with no money) to say no.

I don't remember that happening in 1945. I think being compassionate has some significant propaganda advantages that you are failing to value. To return from war to business I would suggest that working for a company that is compassionate might make hiring good candidates much easier in contrast to a company that isn't. Combined with assumed turnover and associated loss of productivity the compassion could translate into a competitive advantage.
