The shareholder is the owner; it is right and proper that the business serve them (at least in part).
Instead, I see the problem as one of liability and regulation.
The directors of early joint-stock companies were liable to the limits of their PERSONAL FORTUNE.
Nowadays, that liability is so diminished that "corporations" can break criminal law and the human beings who did it are not punished but instead the corporation pays some fine.
Similarly, industry-specific regulatory agencies are co-opted (because who has more interest in the regulator than businesses in that industry) and used to insulate them from both competition and ordinary liability (ie common law as adjudicated in normal courts).

Virtually all of them but with special attention to Plato, Kant, and by extension virtually all modern Western philosophy:
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/kant-transcendental-idealism/
> In the first edition (A) of the Critique of Pure Reason, published in 1781, Kant argues for a surprising set of claims about space, time, and objects:
> Space and time are merely the forms of our sensible intuition of objects. They are not beings that exist independently of our intuition (things in themselves), nor are they properties of, nor relations among, such beings.
> The objects we intuit in space and time are appearances, not objects that exist independently of our intuition (things in themselves). This is also true of the mental states we intuit in introspection; in “inner sense” (introspective awareness of my inner states) I intuit only how I appear to myself, not how I am “in myself”.

Good book; I read it and was (mostly) persuaded.
The book presents (IMO) strong evidence that the US nuclear bombings of Japan were fake.
The onset of symptoms, the observations made immediately after the blast, and some details of the "Manhattan Project" suport the Hoax theory in my view.
I think the book presents little evidence that later bombs (as seen in purported test footage) are fake.

One thing that's always bothered me about modern physics is that they don't adhere to the scientific method in the interpretation of the most basic, repeatable experiments.
The scientific method is supposed to be you observe something, you hypothesize (guess) what's going on, then you conduct experiments to try to disprove the guess. Experiments don't ever prove the guess correct, and competing experiments that conflict with multiple guesses rule out all the guesses.
So the double-slit and single-slit experiments prove that light is NEITHER a particle (in the sense scientists use the term) NOR a wave. One experiment rules out one, the other experiment rules out the other. Instead of concluding that both guesses were wrong because they were contradicted by evidence, scientists decided both experiments proved contradictory theories correct and that light is a wave AND a particle. The scientifically rigorous explanation is that light is NEITHER.

Here's a good example of a sudoku technique I use which I haven't seen discussed.
If the highlighted square at the bottom was a 6 or a 9, it would make it so the 6s and 9s in the bottom two squares could be switched around and still solve the puzzle.
Because a valid sudoku puzzle has only one solution, the highlighted square must be a 4.

Not scarce ones, no.
If Bitcoin is the physical hardware, it doesn't have all these wonderful properties.
If Bitcoins are the entries in computer memory, they may or may have these wondeful properties but are not scarce.
If Bitcoins are the things to which the ledger entries refer, they don't exist.
One way you can see that Bitcoiners don't think clearly is that they refer to the network, the code, the ledger, and the ledger units all as "Bitcoin".
If you make a firm distinction between the ledger and the ledger entries and the ledger units you see immediately that's it's totally absurd to give up your time and energy for these ledger entries.

If I wanted to understand some historical event I would consult all of the documents of the time + the most recent and comprehensive historical analysis.

Wasn't Pontius Pilate the Roman governor (ie dictator) of Judea?
So far as I can tell "Emperor" is basically a euphemism for "King", which various societies have had severe phobia about.
https://www.etymonline.com/word/emperor
The Roman emperors took the title of "Imperator" meaning something like "conquering general" because the Romans might have revolted if the rulers took the title of "Rex" (King).
The concept of "Empire" is a later invention that the people of that time would not have used.
https://www.etymonline.com/word/empire
The etymology is literally 'an area which is ruled', which Pilate's central role seems to establish.
So, I think you are playing a word game rather than thinking clearly.
Moreover, if you understand how the Roman governorship worked you see clearly that the Romans could never have crucified Christ. Once Pilate declares him innocent it would be murder to crucify him anyway.

At 54 rapes per 100k population per year and 60 years of potential rape I show "only" 3.5% of women being victims
If you assume 54 is per total population and the rapes only target women (so effectively double the rate), and the women are targets for 80 years, you still get less than 9% of women as victims
But the math I started with took the 1 in 4 stat at face value and assumed 1 in 16 raped twice, 1 in 64 raped 3 times, and so on
If you look at that you get 65,000 women in Sweden raped 3+ times
