I would say an amazing link, but nothing the PE says surprises me.    

There are thieves who are outstanding at their job, assassins that are experts, gifted salesman that sell junk in any number of profession, drug kingpins who create fully functioning multi-level organizations that make millions of dollars.

What the PE leaves out is any sense of moral/ethical judgement.    If an activity makes a profit its good.   If a negotiation ends up one sided and your on the good side then you're smart/good.    By appearances, and I don't know the man, it seems that money is the measuring stick of all things.   I'm fairly confident that any hesitation to act in ones self interest would receive scorn from the PE and those who put 'winning' above 'how you play the game'.

Honestly, that's a pretty realistic world  view.   There will always be crooks, charlatans, egotist, pathological liars, sociopaths.    To 'hope' for another world is not enough.   You have to put on the armor.
