What a fantastic response to a statement I never made.  Great job! 👍

 

Thanks! It's called making a comparison.

It's not really about using your emotions, unless you think all valuation is based on using emotions. In real life you have the majority of the people that actually make life livable making very little money because of the way the market works. The market is not a meritocracy, it is not a moral system, and yet people are willing to accept the most bizarre outcomes and write of other perspectives as feelings or opinions. That doesn't hold up under the most gentle scrutiny. It's even weird in this thread. People intuitively seeing the wrongness of some of these outcomes (i.e. actors being wildly overpaid) but discrediting themselves because it's opinion (and the whole philosophy behind the market is not).

 

Bloody hell, where are you even getting any of this from?  Who's said anything about markets or meritocracies or anything else of the sort here?

A comparison to what though?  I never said anything about heart surgeons or whether they should or shouldn't make more or less than a big name Hollywood actor.
