Money is just a proxy for the value your skill brings to society.
I appreciate your perspective, but I hope you appreciate that mine is just aligned with a more social view of the world.
- jjulius 2y agoSocial impacts don't need to be tied to money. Getting together with your friends and playing/creating music together, with/for yourselves, and for no financial gain is of tremendous value, for instance.
- the_af 2y agoI'm similarly appalled by weard_beard's replies as you are. I find lots of joy in life without money entering directly into the equation (other than "without money I wouldn't be able to live"). When I start doing something I enjoy -- a hobby, an activity, a craft -- the first thought into my mind is definitely NOT "how can I monetize this?".
- the_af 2y ago> Money is just a proxy for the value your skill brings to society. It can be, but it's not the only one. > mine is just aligned with a more social view of the world I wouldn't say this, no. It's just a money-oriented worldview, not a more social one.
- weard_beard 1y agoWhat you're saying about art is true of all labor and I think its villainous to single out the arts as being more or less deserving compensation.
- the_af 1y agoWow, "villanous"! Hyperbolic much? In any case, I didn't say anything about art in my comment immediately above. I was disagreeing with your worldview. I also didn't say anything about arts being less deserving of compensation. Could you try addressing what other people actually say?
