Maybe you should read it again. You seem to have completely missed the argument.

The effort put into something is 100% irrelevant to its value, because value does not come from labor.

No I’m pretty sure that’s socialism. Hard work deserves compensation.

If I come to your house without asking and dig a ditch around it and then bill you, would you pay the bill? It was hard work.

If no, then hard work does NOT deserve compensation.

Hard work that is wanted by the person controlling the payment deserves compensation.

If I dig the same ditch with a shovel instead of a backhoe, should I get paid more? The work was much harder. If no, then the value comes from how much you want the ditch, not how hard I worked to dig it for you.

This is the whole point of my article, and you 100% missed it.

if you came to my house and started digging you would be charged with trespassing. Wasn't this in regards to who should be rewarded more? The author or the curator? Is it easier to read or write? What requires more time. Both require understanding and cooperation. Your example requires no cooperation or understanding.

Feel free to continue obtusely missing the point and proving that you didn't read the post.

you are correct. It's trolling as this point. Sometimes I feel you are the type of person who argues for the sake of arguing.

Peace out.
