> That's a cruel way to look at it.

I'm not trying to be cruel, I'm reminding him that his (salaried) labor is making someone else wealthy. For those of us who have well developed senses of self-esteem, this is a wholly unacceptable situation.

Only if your self-esteem is tied to your wealth. That would be a shame.

[duh]

My sense of self-esteem is tied to who I allow to take exploit me. Which is really just a proxy for wealth.

[shimon]

Not everyone has a sense of self esteem that depends on being the best at everything.

It seems that you look down on those who work as salaried labor. I would not want to work for you. I hope that whatever project you're working on can be done with just you and a cofounder.

[gloob]

Indeed. Work hard enough, and your own unsalaried labour might even be able to make you poor. Much better for everyone involved.

[duh]

Right. Well, I'm real sorry you decided to get married early and have children, but don't take it out on those of us who know what's really going on in this world.
