What implicit assumption? Implicit? There are only hard facts. This “inevitability” is only caused by private ownership of real, tangible things as well as nebulous things like ideas (or the reproduction of assets that cost marginally nothing). No one talks about what those who sit their asses on these assets are “worth” economically. Because it’s besides the point. They sit on the assets so they win. Those who have nothing to sell but their labor lose.
And this wasn’t inevitable. But we have made it so.
Now we get to talk about philosophical feel-good nonsense like “decoupling assumptions about a person’s value”. When in an alternate reality we could all share in this plenty equally.
Let’s have a fun future being at the mercy of our arbitrary asset-sitting overlords.
