The CEO of JPMorgan Chase was photographed taking a knee in front of a large bank vault on Friday, sparking speculation that he was expressing support for anti-racism protests that have spread across the United States.

The fact that such blatant mindlessness and conformity is mistaken as an expression of some kind of heightened moral development says a lot. This is the lowest form of virtue possible.
