How silly? Why are they silly? Oh wait, you lot are capitalists. Never mind, carry on. (Personally, I think the silliest thing is that they seem to want to keep the government. The getting rid of money isn't so silly. I'm supporting Bitcoin because it's a tool against government, not because I like money.)

Is anyone really surprised that a janitor makes less money than a brain surgeon?
Which is more important for society? If all the janitors suddenly disappeared, what would happen? If all the brain surgeons suddenly disappeared, what would happen? I suggested that in the first case, perhaps the brain surgeons would "led full, rich and happy lives until they [are] all suddenly wiped out by a virulent disease contracted from a dirty telephone", or something.

For a further discussion on  the differences between doctors and janitors, check out this thread on Reveft.


That's the biggest brain fart of an argument I've seen so far. Yes, the doctor wouldn't be able to perform adequate surgery without the janitor but that doesn't mean he owes his life to him. It is all service based on NEED and the amount of NEED is determined by what people are willing to pay. I'm sorry you don't like the idea of people working to sustain themselves.
