I made a number of points in my diatribe, and the only one that was responded to was the implication that some people are more concerned about hoarding cash. Among my first points was an example of the value of volunteerism that many on HN should find relevant. Frankly, I find the notion that money is the only indicator of social value not only despicable, but fundamentally wrong in the context of economics. I also think that there are so many utterly obvious counter-examples in so many industries and in so many areas of the world that anyone who still holds this view could not possibly be convinced otherwise. So, I don't see any point in continuing this conversation.
