Leaving Neverland (Why Little Boys Shouldn't Run Big Corporations)

In our desperate attempt to stay young forever we have achieved eternal childishness, rather than eternal youth. Mankind has gradually become Pankind.

We live in an adolescent society, Neverland, where never growing up seems more the norm than the exception. Little boys wearing expensive suits and adult bodies should not be allowed to run big corporations. They shouldn’t be allowed to run small businesses, governments, armies, religions either. Mankind has become Pankind and whilst “lost boys” abound, there is also an alarming increase in the number of “lost girls.

It is time for us to Leave Neverland, for our sake, for our children's sake, ffs (for our future's sake). We need to hold perpetual boys responsible for their actions even when they run corporations that have an economic output larger than most countries. We need to start to grow up. It is actually that simple. The difficulty of course, is that growing up is much easier said than done. The author successfully avoided growing up for 32 years. Fortunately contemporary, community based Rites of Passage offer us all a timely solution to the growing up conundrum and a way out of Neverland.

"An insightful depiction of the dangers of leaving perpetual ‘boys’ in positions of power. The solution and delightful skewering are reminiscent of Hunter S Thomson!" Rex Finch
