Okay. Why?
This is presented as an axiom, but it isn't.
- lechatonnoir 2y agoDo you mean to suggest that this isn't true or that we should question the reasons that it happens to be true, and possibly change them?
- underlipton 2y agoWell, as the interests that yield any given amount of money vary with time, location, and even the identity, personality, or abilities of the person with a given interest, the implied conclusion that one should simply choose a "higher-yielding" interest, and that failure to do so is a personal matter that absolves any interest/pay relationship of unfairness, seems... incorrect. Maybe axiom was the wrong word. The intent was to convey that the original quote meant to present "and that some interests yield far more money than others" as an "obvious", self-evident notion immune to decomposition or factoring. And it isn't.
