RE: A life of ethics and Steemit...lets get fundamental.....philosophy ...part 5

in #blog • 6 years ago (edited)

You say that "this post is worth $100 dollars of steem" but obviously that is not a matter of ethics, it's a matter of what you think about the value of your own post, which if we are critical, we would acknowledge that you couldn't possibly be the best person to evaluate the value of your work, as you are going to be biased. Confusing ethics with the price of things/price discovery will not render any worthwhile investigation into either.

If you want to know what the market thinks of your post, you will take it to market, price it, and wait for people to buy it. If it doesn't sell, you will need to reevaluate the price and adjust, seek a different market or relist. If you want to make this about ethics you must declare a valid preposition and if it is valid you must argue exactly what is unethical or contrary to it, or point to what would be the correct response, the ethical response to the situation that you validly supported in your argument to otherwise not be ethical.

    I'm not confusing ethics with price discovery - I'm stating price discovery is an integral part of free markets.
    Free markets are an integral part of property rights
    property rights are an integral part of Universal preferable behavior.
    They are ethics.

    You need to stop conflating - it makes you look silly.

    How do you find a communist in a group?

    Express humor and see who doesn't get it - in the slightest.....and there's the commie!

      You're stating that it's not true price discovery. This is a matter of fair Vs unfair, not about property rights.

      That has nothing to do with communism. The free market, the shareholders, they are the ones who decide what they would spend their Voting Power on, and ultimately how they would use their stake to curate. You argue that your post is worth one hundred dollars worth of steem, but obviously if nobody is buying it, your cannot sell. So then it doesn't matter if you think it's worth that much, all that matters is how much will someone else, not you, pay for it. It has absolutely nothing to do with "how to spot a communist".

        You are incorrect. Don't be obtuse - it's embarrassing.
        .....this is a matter of you not being nearly as smart as I thought you were, mate.

        • or intentionally disingenuous. Both are similar.

        I argue that commies have no sense of humor.
        Sense of umor has some correlation to higher IQ's, did you know that?

          Without free markets, there can never be true price > You're stating that it's not true price discovery. - as we can see everyday - $50 rewards for 5 words and $1 reward for a 2000 word essay.

          Fair Vs unfair.
