@sugar@goblin.camp I think this is why I enjoy working in acadamia. I work to improve the value of all of society, and not just to line the pockets of some big-wig. Which helps me feel better about the works I do. I actually wrote a super sappy blog post about this today. https://lte.bearblog.dev/fully-qualified-academic/

@sugar@goblin.camp just before he died, David Graeber was exploring the idea that the amount people get paid might be proportional to how much harm they can do within society

@sugar@goblin.camp This reminds me of a study I read about that found that people who consider their work meaningful are paid less, on average, than people who consider it just work, even if they both have the same kind of job

@sugar@goblin.camp Yes that's why the wise say that you can never become rich when you work for others . then you get the debts for home consumption and when it reaches the time to get paid there you remain with almost 10 percent after paying the loans . And for the rich he then invests the money and gets more as you suffer . This most times affects one's brain and you find one in a situation where he is proud of poverty
