True story: Friend saw Jeff Bezos waiting in line for 20 minutes for a pizza. He could have paid for an uber copter to drop one on him, or offered 10k to each

True story: Friend saw Jeff Bezos waiting in line for 20 minutes for a pizza. He could have paid for an uber copter to drop one on him, or offered 10k to each of the people in front of him. He didn't. He has principles, and the principle is that you work for money and then use it to buy things that you care about.

Er, how would any of the behaviors he didn't take that you refer to violate that principle? I mean, if he cares about getting pizza, either of those would have been consistent with it. You've got an example of a choice and a principle, but the choice is in no way illustrative of the principle any more than any alternative choice, including paying gunmen to murder everyone in line in front of him, would be.
