Groups. Never admit failure. A group would rather keep living in a mythology of we were oppressed and ever admit failure. Individuals are the only ones admit failure, even individuals don't like to admit failure, but eventually they can be forced to a group will never admit. They were wrong a group will never admit we made a mistake because a group that tries to change its mind falls apart. So I am hard pressed in history to find examples of large groups where they've said we thought a but the answer is actually be usually what happens in that case the Schism where you go from Catholic Church apart.

And of course you lose the beautiful nonprofit status. You have to pay your taxes and also you can get corrupted by being purely for profit. But I would argue that the best businesses are the ones that long-term are both for-profit, sustainable, and ethical so you can attract the best people. You can sustain it because it's a mission. It's not just about the money because it's diminishing returns to making money there.
