I think it's good to have a bit of variety - one or two roles where you stayed 3, 4, 5 years, then a bunch of companies only 1-2 years each. You'd have some depth of experience as well as breadth.

I think it's a good point and it could be more than wealth but also security... A social hierarchy undergoing chaotic changes could even pose danger to one's life - and in such a scenario you don't want to pick a side.

I don't think material wealth is worthy enough as a metric of success for society to care about giving equal access to it to everyone - mere sufficient access ought to be enough, and focus on what's more important than material

Is that what we are? Biological-chemical constructions who accumulate metrics of successes? Will people become more fulfilled in their lives because we give them all material wealth? Why not have a world where people don't think of exc

"end up less successful" If you mean end up less successful at being old millionaires with big houses and flashy cars, that's true. Is it important for males and females to become that in equal numbers? Do we need old million

For the situations where the manager and the managed are of the opposite sex and one or both are aware of their own ethical and spiritual vulnerabilities maybe it'd be a good idea to have a 2:1 or 1:2 instead of a 1:1.
