The operative word being "more". If you agree with gp that people are going to be judgy, which I do, then what we're looking for is least-bad.

- learc83 8y ago>then what we're looking for is least-bad. Wealth certainly isn't the least-bad. Also I haven't seen any evidence that encouraging people to judge others by one metric discourages them from judging people by other metrics.
- simonh 8y agoThis is an important point. The implicit assumption of the OP, “if we’re going to judge in one thing” is bogus. Why do we have to judge on only one thing? Why can’t we judge different traits and characteristics based on different metrics? What does material wealth tell us about someone? What is it about them we are judging?
- philipov 8y agoYou are arguing that the frying pan is not as bad as the fire. If your morality is so impoverished that this is the least-bad you can think of, you should take a break from judgement.
