​Nah. It’s not thrown off at all. Measure of output is, measure of output. Output of “what”, relies on consensus of necessity or interest from the population for what the goal is.
And this will always be the case.
One interest, is food production. If one person busts their ass and sows more seed or harvests more crops than another, they are outputting more. It’s simple
And this would be true for any other system whether it be a system of necessity or recreation or art, as long as it’s in the consensus of being a goal to achieve.
There is no world where everyone gets EXACTLY the same benefits, that’s just an ideological extreme. It goes against natural law. It de-incentivizes any extra effort or discovery.
Plus, it’s just fucking boring.
Drawing down disparity is the actual goal. Sure CEOs should not make [insert your multiple here] more money/credit/possibility than the worker.
People round here seem to immediately dismiss the CEO. But the (some) CEO may actually have worked harder, been blessed with more intelligence and organizational skills, and contributed more to, say, maximizing food production so that ALL can be fed more for even less effort.
That should be rewarded in society.
Just not to the ridiculously disproportionate extent it is now.

What if Claude was one’s only friend, though?
Asking for a Claude friend.

Everybody is not equal. Sorry to break it to ya. We can lessen the disparity between highest and lowest income, but there will always be a rift. Some people just don’t output at much value as others.

Lol!
Like I said.

Centrist hate is the funniest thing a bunch of fuckwits ever came up with.
Centrist haters have the same “propagandabilty” as maga, but do it to themselves, no outside source required.
“… Those people are centrist, must mean they don’t have an opinion…”
Lol.
No mental gymnastics required because they couldn’t do mental summersault.
