Robin Hanson:
"people viewed cynical (vs. trusting) leaders as better at detecting antisocial behavior & more punitive, & therefore, as better at preventing employees’ antisocial behavior."
"Cynicism – the belief that people are driven primarily by self-interest – has been predominantly associated with detrimental consequences for individuals and organizations."

In analogy it could be asked: "What are the consequences of atheistic beliefs?"
cynical versus trusting:
"there are (are not) higher aims within a human being"
atheism versus ...:
"there is (is not) higher meaning inherent in the world"

"I propose that our universe is the most interesting of all possible universes, and our fate as human beings is to make it so. ... I like that as a statement, though I wouldn’t say that it’s a statement of fact in any sense. It’s just a hope… Every time there’s a new discovery in science, whether it’s in astronomy or biology or any other field, it confirms my belief that this is the most interesting of all possible universes… It’s a good working hypothesis, that’s all. And it may quite well be our destiny to take charge of the universe in some sense, to direct the future of life. It depends on whether or not we meet other creatures who have greater capabilities than ours. If not, then we may find ourselves in charge."
