I'm not trying to make a point or rallying against anything. I'm simply saying that I work hard to acquire resources for myself and will never give them away. We can all make moral/ethical/humane arguments about equality and fairness but I simply don't care. If that makes me unintelligent, then I suppose that's just something I'll have to accept.
- bildung 8y agoAre you really working hard, or are you working in IT, in a first world country?
- michaelmrose 8y agoProbably working more intelligently but less hard than the average person at Walmart.
- TheOtherHobbes 8y agoProbably in finance, at a guess.
- spython 8y agoYou seem to overlook a wide range of resources - trust, admiration and friendship of others are also resources. So is a society in which people don't let each other live in poverty. The willingness of others to work with you is a resource, which you acknowledge by using a throwaway. You don't 'give away' resources, they are transformed into other resources. Would you give up the ability to own seven cars for the knowledge that you'll never live under a bridge, no matter what? Many people would.

- mch82 8y agoSo you choose the suboptimal box in the prisoners’ dilemma?
- xphx 8y agoHopefully useful nitpick: In the "prisoner's dilemma", it's the dominant strategy. It's only sub-optimal in the /iterated/ prisoner's dilemma, the ominous reason being an expectation of continuity.
