Title: Jobs
Post by: dank on January 09, 2013, 07:16:06 PM
I'll pay you to do this shit I don't want to do. Why should I do it then?  I'll instill fear in you. Why should I fear you then?

If everyone did the work they wanted rather than the work others wanted, we could have peace, my parents can come home and we can be a great big happy family.

Wants has nothing to do with it.   "I'll pay you to do something I CAN'T".  I can't repair my own heart so I will gladly pay a surgeon to do it for me.   The surgeon is more effective at fixing hearts than doing accounting so even if he could learn accounting it is more efficient for the surgeon to pay an accountant.   Both the accountant and the surgeon benefit.  I also benefit because the surgeon has devoted more time to the biz of heart fixing by NOT learning accounting.   That means I am less likely to die on the operating table.  Specialization is what has led to prosperity for the human race.  Even tasks that anyone could do ... say taking out the trash we benefit by paying someone to do it.  If I am a good at a particular skill  then global prosperity is maximized by me spending time completing that skill.  The janitor takes out the trash and that means 10 more minutes a day I can be writing code.   


TL/DR: Your a moron.

The problem is not specialization, the problem is unfair splitting of work and profits. In this matter the soviets did advance society higher than western world. There was much to do anyway and they have society corrupted in another ways, if not counting that russians can't do anything properly at large level.

ITT dank realises (ha!) that plenty of people actually enjoy the work they do, even if it demands effort. He might also realise (ha, again!) that even if money went poof, that a barter system actually requires that one have shit to barter with, therefore requires said person to produce something of value.

"Why can't people just live in peace and give me all I want"
"Working means death"
"The US is corrupt therefore I shouldn't have to get a job and pay back the cash I stole"

Things dank will say to try to keep up his cognitive dissonance.
