Well I didn't make the robot comment, but I think it's valid to say that promoting people trying to operate rationally in the market can be pretty robotic if that's your primary motivation. However, given I withdrew that contention, having realised the OP was not talking about making market optimisation and profiteering your primary goal but just talking about how the labour market works, of course the robot thing isn't relevant anymore either.

My bad since that wasn't you. These threads tend to get long in both content and time between messages, and it gets easy to mix up statements.

I do think people should always try to operate rationally in the market as, even though it isn't perfect, it will generally produce the highest likelihood of success.

In any case, I appreciate the engagement!

Thanks, you too! I agree these things can get a little confusing but I always appreciate the discussion.
