Do you know why the correlation between hard work and reward/success/achievement is not 1 to 1? I can explain it... If you would like...
Hym "Do you know why people are paid a static rate as opposed to a per task payment for services rendered? Well, I read an article once (I can't remember from where) about a tech company. They make video games or something. (Assuming the article was true) They decided to switch from paying an hourly wage to a 'per task completed' payment system. And what happened? Well... Productivity skyrocketed. So much so that the company could not sustain the 'per task completed' payment system. People were completing tasks ahead of schedule and working more (in general) to make as much as they could. If there was a 1 to 1 correlation between hard work and profit everyone would work as hard as possible to make as much as possible. But that isn't the case. That CAN'T be the case. The hierarchy MUST bottleneck. Sure, you can work hard. Sure, you can be promoted up. If not, you can change jobs. It doesn't have to be YOU who remains at the bottom. But I does have to SOMEONE. Every business needs bottom level labors. And it needs them INDEFINITELY otherwise businesses can't sustain themselves. The correlation between hard work and profit must remain below 1. So what is it? At your average business. It is something that must be set by business owners. You can't promote everyone who works for you. So what is it? .4? .5? I don't have the answer. But it's something do consider when taking about the national productivity rate..."

You see...
Hym "I made up this bullshit aphorism for faggy little YouTube channel and I'm HOPING people will accept that as truth and love in delusion for the rest of their lives while I fill up my pockets with unearned money... Because all aphorisms are true! DERRRRRRRRRR! DERRRRRRRRRRR! *deep inhale* DERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"

Hym "Soooo... What you're saying is: I would succeed where the others failed? I mean, it's not much of a take-down because I'm telling what I'm going to say to every question you could possibly ask. 'I'm ToO iMpOrTaNt To Go DoWn LiKe ThIs!' he saids. I mean, it's not like I need to be pulled off the ledge of a cliff. You're ethic literally requires you to tell the truth but you can't because you'd reveal yourself as a charlatan. And it would be an objectively good thing to do. Like the shopping cart moral dilemma thing. You're making rules just to exempt yourself from them at your convenience. That's the literal definition of playing God."

Nope. You're right. Information is useful. Regardless of whether or not it's useful. And that would be the difference. But...
Hym "No the information can be useful. That's a good point. But you have to admit that there is a subset of the community that are masochistic."

Leave it to the shameless capitalist to project a profit motive onto a guy who didn't even know that what he was doing was literally worth billions of dollars...
Hym "Yeah... It's profit motive... That's what this.... I planned on generating billions of dollars because I'm so much the genius that I can type worse into a random website and do that with little to no effort... That's my master plan... I mean... I said that I could to it because I'm better than everyone but still..."
