Greed is Good!

[DodgyAgent]

Do you live in some parallel dream universe where you are clever and win arguments?

I never win arguments. I make points and I question others. I understand how the concept of worth works and it is not a defined or finite or static entity. Because I understand it and you do not people like me prosper by doing all the human interraction whilst you beaver away in the attic with your trainset

I think what we're asking is what's your definition of worth?

My definition of a worthwhile human being is one that gives more than he takes

[doodab]

personally I do not care it is an entirely subjective and personal concept.

So you wouldn't care if society judged them not worth educating? Or not worth saving if they were ill?

How can 'Society' judge - societies are collectives of individuals.

So a mentally ill person in an asylum is less worthwhile than an employed person?
There was once a society that did something about that, if I remember rightly

Societies judge every day, usually in courts of law.

If I had to pay for them out of my own pocket then the answer is it depends on who "them" are, can I afford it? some context please.

Ok, go back and read what I actually said then consider what I may have meant by 'give' and then 'take and try thinking of the concepts in something other than financial terms
