@freemo > The issue is the horrible ideas you think get you there.

I am curious as to what you think those are. I don’t remember uttering any concrete steps of action in the near past.

You have often argued that people should not be able to have success as the result of “randomness”

To clarify: i am aware that randomness is a part of every success, by the very nature of our reality. I merely wish that returns would not snowball limitlessly, as humans are not good at determining a reasonable “enough”.

the value of that effort (Which is partly a factor of skill) is what determines your pay, and should

I agree, though still bounded.
In everyday conditions, working any job that depends on individual skill and available material, that should be fine. I sense problems when a success is an amalgamation of multiple peoples work, as correct attribution is not a base feature of reality but something that has to be done on top. Example would be the slums of workers commonly found in front of amazon warehouses. They do have the skill to do what is needed (as they are not fired), yet do not earn enough to live a dignified life. It follows for me that attribution of skill contribution went wrong.

To note, in that last example i did not propose concrete steps to take, i merely pointed out what i find problematic.
