Do you have an extraneous not in your first sentence? Didn't you mean to say "It's not good for society to ask anyone to put their job first"? It is <i>amazing

It is <i>amazingly</i> good for society when people put their jobs first. That's how you get people sacrificing their lives as police officers, their twenties as doctors, their privacy as President, their chance to have kids as mathematicians.
It's not great for the people, and we should feel bad for tricking them into such an unfair distribution of society's costs.
- imh 8y agoYup. That "not" was a typo from before I rearranged that sentence. I spotted it too late to edit :-\ You're right that it's good for some parts of society when other parts make sacrifices. But those people are part of society too, and it's bad for them. I personally would rather live in a society where everyone works to live, not lives to work.
