Applies to work life too: if you just work more then you can become rich. But what happens when everybody works more? You get the same basic stuff, but now you really have to work for it.
- kaybe 9y agoShouldn't there be more stuff for everyone then? Something is wrong if there weren't.
- GoToRO 9y agoOnly slightly. The question is if this small increase in stuff is worth the total degradation of ones life quality. I say it doesn't. You earn more but then you spend that extra income on expensive stuff that you don't need just to feel that you are still living a good life.
- ttoinou 9y agoThe question is if this small increase in stuff is worth the total degradation of ones life quality. I say it doesn't. Oh oh, sounds like you're arguments are about marginal utility, subjective value and economics trade off. Are you a crypto austrian ;) ?
- GoToRO 9y agoI don't know what crypto austrian means :) I'm romanian.
- ttoinou 9y agoCrypto-* to say that you are that * without knowing it. Austrian refers to austrian economics ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrian_School https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrian_School ), you basically said in one sentence the 3 economic concepts I said earlier. Spoiler : nobody ever justified communism / marxism / socialism based on this.
- GoToRO 9y agoI guess I might be. Thanks for the link. I didn't know about it.
- ttoinou 9y agoSo what happens if nobody works ?
- GoToRO 9y agoCommunism :) I guess the ideea is to work but without forgetting the other important parts of life.
