Idealism Memes

The scientific moral compass goes from 0 to 100 real quick! Our protagonist starts with such noble intentions, rejecting the military-industrial complex with ethical conviction. Fast forward five minutes into the corporate world, and he's facing increasingly terrifying "boss battles" - first cutting corners on legal compliance, then confronting the final petroleum products boss (which apparently ate its Wheaties and steroids for breakfast). The meme perfectly captures the slippery slope of scientific ethics in industry, where idealism crashes headfirst into profit-driven reality. That petroleum monster didn't even need to offer health insurance to win this fight.
