His interviews with world leaders and celebrities were quite impressive, so the sheer fact that his career ended at least for now is unfortunate.
The Washington Post broke the news, quoting eight women who recounted how Rose abused his power to satisfy his sexual fantasies. He seemed to have been mixing them with work, and I wondered if/how EEO laws were implemented in his workplace.
Rose basically admitted these allegations. In his Tweet, he stated that "I deeply apologize for my inappropriate behavior. I am greatly embarrassed. I have behaved insensitively at times, and I accept responsibility for that..."
My initial impression is that he certainly appeared to have abused his power and that is the problem for the purpose of maintaining a decent and comfortable work environment for all. At the same time, if he did all these conducts purely in his private life, he is not that different from numerous other stupid men.
Yes, in my personal view, men are essentially stupid, but many are trying hard to control the stupidity in day-to-day life in order to keep a civilized life.
So, what is the stupidity? It is the desire to produce offspring of their own and expand influence. The reason why war never ends is also because of that stupidity. Men are similar to animals in that sense. Some women are also engaged in mounting like gorillas, showing off their superior life, giving unsolicited advice to others, etc.
It is all about turf battle. That's why the world continues to be stupid. At the same time, I think it is worth making an effort for better civilization.
