Peptide takers are leaders

When a journalist talks about Adam Smith’s “invisible hand” like that, it means he hasn’t read the book.

These “leaders” want to survive so they can keep their power and pass it on to their offspring. Nothing new under the sun.
 
@eidos good catch on the Adam Smith reference! Yet, I thought the analogy to the invisible hand was spot on accurate. The invisible hand describes how individuals pursuing their own self-interest in a free market inadvertently benefit society as a whole, driving economic efficiency, innovation, and resource allocation without the need for centralized planning. However, you are also "free" to give-up the grey market peptides and follow the centralized government rules curtailing your liberty and parenting your health. I, however, will continue to choose liberty and the leadership of my own autonomy.

I just realized that your link is spelled “forBS.” The subconscious sometimes plays funny tricks on us 🙂

As for Adam Smith, I won’t go into detail because it’s really off-topic. I’ll just say that my perspective on “led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention” is epistemological. I think he had a flash of genius and intuited what would be called, two centuries later, the “finality of the system” (in systems theory) or “structuring constructs” in organizational sociology.

But that's not what you said earlier, though. You were suggesting that the author didn't understand what Smith really meant just because they used the "invisible hand" quote. Seems to me you are trying to appear clever. 😜
 
Ah, Forbes... where a few grand a year lets you publish pretty much anything. Very serious. Very interesting.
