So tell me where to find a not-profit-seeking human.
I’d say a government employee just seeks profit by doing as little as possible for the fixed paycheck they get. _Everyone_ has a profit motive. The question is how their profit aligned with that of others.
- salawat 10mo agoReporting. I try to solve problems just to get them solved. I don't seek to enrich myself. By the way, living in your world of profit-seeking-at-all-costs maximalism is the cruelest fate imaginable, but assholes normalizing maximized greed are a dime a dozen, ruining things for everyone else. Sorry to burst your bubble.
- SR2Z 10mo agoReasonable human beings can put a value on being able to sleep at night while still trying to make a profit. It's insane to suggest otherwise.
- littlestymaar 10mo ago> tell me where to find a not-profit-seeking human. Easy, most people fit that description actually. And that's fortunate because otherwise the world would collapse pretty quickly from lack of midwifes and gynecologists. In fact, the neoliberal cult that neglects the human nature and pretends everything is shaped by monetary incentives is slowly destroying our societies…
- Whoppertime 10mo agoMost people I know have jobs they do for money not for free.
- littlestymaar 10mo agoEveryone need to pay their bills but that's a completely different thing from being “profit seeking”. I'm pretty positive that very few of the women you know do prostitute themselves for a living despite it being the most profitable activity imaginable. Turns out most women aren't profit-seeking after all.
