"people are paid not by the value of their work, but by their scarcity"

When will we learn to stop making these silly arguments about "scarcity" and understand that the only thing that matters is a position of power?

Einstein and Steven Hawking were unique and advanced the entire human civilisation, whats their net work? Is anyone except the mentally ill going to suggest we have more Einsteins that Tim Cook's lying around?

Ultimately, yes. But where does that power come from?

Does Putin's, Joe Biden's and Edison's power come from the same 'source'? Are you implying power come from scarsity? Do we have scarsity of politicians?

Do you think that politicians are powerful? Power to me implies having the ability to do things beyond their attributions and expectations.

I think that if Biden or even Putin decided to color outside of the lines, they would be removed from their positions without prejudice.
