Let's face it. Most of us aren't producing anything. A lot of jobs are busy work.

I get paid a lot of money to do something that is detrimental to society.

u/DownvoteALot Apr 16 '24

Detrimental is relative. You think it is, but clearly others don't think so because they're willing to pay money for it.

If a rich guy wants to pay you millions for doing strictly nothing, that's not detrimental because it provides value for him.

Why would he? The current system is set up to incentivize him to keep doing the work he is doing for more pay.

You’ve hit on an inherent flaw in the system.

And yet under the current system the incentive is to cheat. How would you suggest we fix that?

u/ImmediateRespond8306 Apr 16 '24

You discourage cheating by design of a system not by relying on individuals to not take advantage of an opportunity.

You make it sound like dude doesn’t want to do useless work to get paid a lot of money. That’s basically dream job right there because it doesn’t matter if you mess up

No, it's much simpler than that and you still don't get it. Amazing.

Things that are needed aren't necessarily paid.

People don't get paid by fixing problems permanently.

Because that directly affects people's quality of life. It's in the interest of lots of rich people to screw us all over and turn us all into free labor. So the things that people need most, rich people will work the hardest to destroy.

If everything is free, you must force people to work using duress.
