The Life of brian??? The Life of brian?

I wonder, why you would think that???

I almost made a separate thread for this question; Hitler was a vegetarian, I'm not generalising and suggesting, all nazi's are "£$%'s. It's just 'A' metric of value... Money is only worth, the value we chose to give it...

Counter, counter example; isn't it true that a burnt chicken had an excess of heat, rather than an excess of time...

I am wondering, if different types of potatoes might have something to do with it? It's no coincidence, that some types end up in a can...

What's the point of employing a lazy person? Someone who spends all of thier time trying to find a way to do as little work as possible, costing the company untold millions. On the other hand, if the company only employed them short term with a good wage, to find a way to do the job more efficiently and so save untold millions; even I will work for a day or two to earn a few luxuries. And before anyone mentions time and motion expert's; an accountant is only creative when their trying to cook the book's... 🤣 I once worked for a company that made pod's in the factory that click together, on site, for students to live in. They had a whole line dedicated to painting the walls; filling over the screws that attached the plasterboard, then sanding ready for paint, they also had team that snagged the failures of the line; I thought, why not just paper the wall's? One process with little chance of failure; but I couldn't be bothered to tell them...

Indeed, they have value to add; but why is it more valuable?

Why does a pendulum never hit you on its return?

I get what you're trying to say, but you may as well say "not all dog's are guard dog's, but a shih tzu will still try"...

I was thinking of a hybrid system. The people who's basic needs are met don't need money, shelter without rent, a food allowance and etc... The people who want more, earn money for the extras they crave. The people who find value in what they do underpin the system, as they do now; nurse's, farmer's, bin men and etc. Should be rewarded equally... Society needs everyone to find their niche, not just the wealthy.

It was intended as a joke, sorry I should've included a smiley. 🙂

I'll bet you're wrong...

Really? We're trying to create a sun here on earth; normally we're trying to scale up to get something for (almost) nothing; I don't see how scaling down, is any more viable... Just another step on the path...

Indeed, but that point is food, shelter and water (and etc.); all of which should be the aim of any 'just' governmental system why else would we pay our taxes/tythe. "I can prove anything by statistics except the truth" - George Canning Those choice's and indulgences are some of the benefits of going to work. If our society is fed and sheltered and the absolute need to have a job to make one happy is removed, then this insidious need to buy more junk is removed. If both mice are happy, what's the problem?

I don't know... Perhaps we could, revisit the question and ask why communism?

What is it you want?

Because time doesn't exist as a separate entity, it's like asking why time is responsible for me finding my girlfriend attractive...

Those of us that struggle to make ends meet, dream of winning the lottery. It's even advertised as, a life changing amount. But is that change positive? The Diderot effect would sugget otherwise....

Please, explain...

If they're done correctly... All of them...

That's a lot of word's... That, explains why you don't understand... 😉

Only if you think it does... Virtually, just, describes an attempt to make sense of something we don't understand... 😉

I imagine it is. The wealth for a scientist is, making a living by doing something that fascinated them. Money is just a means to an end. Not an end in it self, businessman does not equate too scientist. It's a good lesson in life; don't chase money to be happy; chase life to be content... 😉 I can prove anything by statistics except the truth.

I think I get it (thanks), at any given moment we're not moving unless pushed.
