Some people get rich studying artificial intelligence. Me, I make money studying natural stupidity.
Carl IcahnWe have bloated bureaucracies in Corporate America. The root of the problem is the absence of real corporate democracy.
Carl IcahnNow the guy that got to the top, the CEO, would obviously be stupid to have a number two guy who was a lot smarter than he is. So by definition, since he's a survivor and he got to the top and he isn't that brilliant, his number two guy is going to always be a little worse than he is. So, as time goes on, it's anti-Darwinism, the survival of the un- fittest.
