Why not just work the easiest job we can and play videogames the rest of the time? Why don't people do that? The monetary incentive to work ratio isn't exactly linear. In the current system, you already have evidence for motivation beyond monetary incentive, and it's the fact that work:money ratio isn't a constant. It's true that sometimes novelty pushes us to work. I once took a job at SpaceX for less pay than I could've earned elsewhere because of the novelty. But that was a temporary thing so that I can build my skills in the journey to seek more pay and prestige down the road. I wouldn't work any difficult job for 40 years unless I was getting paid well to do so. And I wouldn't sacrifice my time for business ventures unless I had the hope of making a profit from doing so. The majority of people are the same, because this is rational behavior. Most people would not work grueling hours and grueling jobs if there was no profit in it. --- they shall be the first ones against the wall when the revolution comes - averagejoel <cite>FLUFFYGERM posted [p:890526557] in Lmao when ...
