What difference is there between 1000x and 1,000,000x ? Should there be a cap somewhere? I just completely fail to see how this is anything other than being jealous of someone elses's success. Please do explain.
- efaref 10y agoIt's not about being jealous of a particular person's success, it's more about observing the problems with a world where a tiny fraction of the population capture and control over half of the wealth. If that were problem free, then fine. But it's not. Think of it as a symptom of an illness, and we should work to get the fever down.
- terryf 10y agook, so what exactly has Jeff done wrong or what he should do differently?
- marknutter 10y agoBut you're treating the symptom then. Shouldn't the illness be the target?
- metaphorm 10y agoone step at a time. this is triage. first you get the fever down so the patient doesn't die. then you identify the pathogen and get your hygiene and medicine in a place where they can prevent future infections.
- metaphorm 10y agoreally? you can only think of it as being about jealousy? that seems like a rhetorical trick you're attempting to use to shut down the debate by an appeal to (your perception of) the irrational emotional states of others. spend a few minutes thinking about the politics of wealth and the premise of representative democracy and popular sovereignty.
