What has Charles Koch learned? Just as much as John Goodman

Esquire’s “What I’ve learned” feature asks prominent people about the lessons they’ve learned in their lives.  The latest batch includes one for every state. Esquire chose Wichita billionaire Charles Koch to represent Kansas and actor John Goodman for Missouri.

Koch, a $17-billion man, leads Koch Industries, America’s largest private company. So what’s he know?

Every company wants smart people. Well, Hitler was smart. Stalin was smart. Mao was smart. If somebody’s evil, the smarter they are, the more damage they’re going to do.

So be really afraid of evil smart people. Got it.
