You've completely missed the point of my analogy. If you compare everyone else the the person who is the best in the category, then everyone else will pale in comparison. Using "You're not as good as The Best" as a reason to fire someone is stupid since there's only one person who can live up to that bar.
- earthling8118 4y agoI absolutely did not miss your point. I don't think everyone needs to be the same as the "best". I do think that when we operate an economic system we need to have a certain level of quality in important positions-- one that has not been met. This isn't a game and our lives hold more weight than a swimming competition. I'd much rather eliminate scarcity and the need for people to have a job to provide their basic needs. Accomplishing that is even more difficult though
