>>It is impossible for one person to make a billion dollar 747. One man simply doesn't have enough intelligence or strength to do construct such a sophisticated device.
Yet its easily possibly possibly to start working towards and move in that direction. That's how anything big ever built, was built.
>>Thus why is it possible for one man to make a billion dollars in paper money but it is not possible for one man to make a billion dollar 747?
Because any big thing company, individual wealth or 747 is built on a concept that works similar to stamina. You don't run a marathon on day 1. It takes a good deal of work over years to make a billion dollars.
Ever wondered why some people are so good at saving money even in stifling financial conditions and then make smart investment decisions? Such people have already tried a lot, failed a lot and have a lot of mental stamina and cache of knowledge in their brains which helps them succeed above people who have far better sources of money but have a equally bad spending habits.
>>Billionaires exist only because the paper money was taken from the wealth produced by other people.
Its a symbiosis. But where you want to belong is really upto you. You now have two options a) to work 20 hours a day, be a god programmer, get a job at wall street, make a few millions and retire. b) take life as usual, work 9-5 and be a commoner.
People who take the option a) are not evil. They only have better priorities than you.
>>wealth inequality is a feature of capitalism
Capitalism offers freedom to chose priorities. And that independence is hard to handle for a lot of people.
>>it is fundamentally unfair because it is taken from others.
Nothing is taken from others. If you think about it very carefully, capitalism gives you what you want. Based on how you look at it and what kind of a person you are, it can be very good or terribly bad news.

The total man hours required exceed several life times. >>Its a symbiosis. But where you want to belong is really upto you.

It is not a symbiosis. Ask anyone who chose option b. What a coincidence. Everyone who chose option a thinks it's a symbiosis, everyone who chose option b doesn't. Wonder why. Tell me, in your life, did you happen to choose option a?
- kamaal 11y ago>>This is impossible. You are right regardless of whatever you think. If you thinks its possible, its possible. If you think its impossible, its impossible. >>One man cannot build and design the 747. The total man hours required exceed several life times. There are men on this earth who have cleaved an entire mountain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashrath_Manjhi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashrath_Manjhi Like I said, what ever choice you make you are right. >>It is not a symbiosis. Ask anyone who chose option b. A person makes the wrong choices in life, but expects all the right outcomes. >>Tell me, in your life, did you happen to choose option a? Yes, not the wall street part. Because I'm an Indian. That was just an example of what choices a person can make, and how those will actively shape their lives. I've seen the socialism rot from quite close. Most Americans have no clue what they are talking about, very simply because the exposure is only through reading stories or anecdotes on internet or books. In reality there is no such thing called as free. Or worst free in almost all cases is more expensive than the cost you would've other wise played. Socialism also has other problems which deeply stems from motivations human beings have towards doing anything in life. In reality, in a socialist society, the opportunities are always scanty, almost every one thinks everybody else who earns more apart from them owes them something, and they are entitled to endless free stuff. Corruption is common, because opportunities are scanty. People think one-off cheating is perfectly fair. Good people are always leaving to greener pastures(other countries). In fact most of them are quite tired of the masses calling them greedy for working hard. There is endless glorification with poverty, and rich people hating which after a while looks like excuses to remain poor because the poor are entitled to free money anyway. The wealth generated is consistently on the decline largely because no sees any point in doing some thing big and watching the results of their work taken away, and the good people are constantly moving out. In all this in the constantly declining pool of wealth, people fight for whatever is left with whatever means they can. Socialism/Communism has failed over the century because it works against the human nature and the way we perceive work-reward scenarios.

Additionally no mountain was cleaved by any man. This man simply spent 22 years digging a hole. This is certainly a plausible feat. The foundations of your argument rests on the fallacy that anything you believe can become reality. Well. I believe I am right and that you are wrong. Look. Now it's reality.
