"Artists" throwing tantrums confronted with the unshakeable reality that their dribbling is no match for the infinite beauty revealed by man's ever-expanding dominion over nature through predictive reasoning, probabilistic inference, the profit motive… some things never change
@Inu_Loki@RockChartrand conductors (especially at high levels) are usually paid much more than the musicians since they are in charge of managing, planning and coordinating the musicians and the entire performance. almost like a ceo :)
@Kingflamealot@GullsBrady@Inu_Loki@RockChartrand A ceo's value isn't in making the product but in choosing what to make, how to make it, and how to keep the firm alive. Labor creates output but entreprneurial coordination creates value
@Kingflamealot@GullsBrady@Inu_Loki@RockChartrand It's the wrong counterfactual. your question is based on a flawed model of how value is created.
asking how much value a CEO adds when workers produce nothing is like asking how much fuel efficiency a car has with no engine
First worlders living the highest standards of living known to human history: “We are not sure we want to die for a country that doesn’t do anything for us.”
Third worlders whose country has never done anything for them: “I will sacrifice my life for the glory of Pakistan.”

do you consider the video you've just seen to be not creative?
