The quantity means that (a) makes the world worse off and (b) makes it better off. That seems like a pretty significant difference to me. > I never said my actions were capitalistic at all. I got that impression from one of your deleted comments. Perhaps it wasn't intentional. > If that makes me into an asshole and the world into a shithole, so be it. That's not a "so be it" outcome, that's an "oh crap, let's try to avoid that" outcome. As a society, we try to avoid that by punishing (a). You can do your part by not doing (a) even if you think you can get away with it. It's bedtime, so I'm tapping out now.
