"They often say that "they" (politicians, University Heads, etc) are paid so much as, in the jobs market, their skills would command such a salary.... for people like Lineker et al, I don't think that's likely in the real world, is it?" Politicians should get paid A LOT more in my opinion. | |||

"I would agree that being good at something should be the primary issue. My point, although i did ramble, is that there's no other time in human history where there was a greater meritocracy than we have now. I don't think it's valid for anyone to bitch about what other people earn as long as there are relatively equal opportunities for other people to compete for those jobs. Exceptions to that principle include fucking bankers who earn artificially high wages off the back of state bailouts that I disagree with in principle. | |||

"That may be true but most people have a concept of fairness that believes that excessive differentials in different types of work are unfair. The classic example is the common comparison made between the wages paid to top footballers and nurses. Most people would say it's unfair that footballers get paid not more, even though professional football is probably the most meritocratic industry going. Your concept of fairness essentially says that that kind of differential reward is fair as long as there are no barriers to entry to sought after professions. As I say, most people don't agree with that. Given "fairness" is a subjective abstract concept, the governing idea of fairness will generally be what most people think. Which is why footballers have to pay half their income in tax to be redistributed in a way felt to be in accordance with that concept of fairness | |||

Honestly, the only people in my daily life who talk about fairness are children. I also find it to be a curse of people with too many brothers and sisters, but i digress. I also think it's a terrible strategy to talk about fairness. It's far more objective to talk about the inherent value of some Labour over others. Nurses are inherently more valuable than footballers, there's just much larger supply of those skills. Footballers take far bigger risks, the average wage of a footballer isn't particularly high, it's just a tiny percentage who make enormous wages for a very short time of their lives. That time can be cut short by injury or a drop in form. There's a reason that the overwhelming majority of top footballers are working class. | |||

" "The inherent value of some labour" is just another subjective way of talking about fairness. If you say the labour of nurses is inherently more valuable than that of top footballers you're making a value judgement that caring for sick people is more important than the fun people get watching top footballers.

We have ~7bn people in the world who each need ~2,000 calories per day otherwise they will die. That's not subjective. So farming is inherently more important than watching football. Nobody is going to die if the footballers all go on strike for a year. | |||

" stupid fucking A levels like art, media studies, geography and sociology What a sad view of the world that is, IMO. You think all subjects are inherently equal? " It depends on the outcome you’re looking for. I think people are naturally different and diverse, and that education that is built on too narrow a focus eg. solely STEM subjects (which are important and I’m not arguing against them) is insufficient. There should be equal weight to all subjects - children will prosper best if they study subjects that celebrate all of their possible talents - a broad curriculum. One that invokes their curiousity and lights their spark of enquiry. They will then have a hunger to learn. We de-professionalise teachers and the fact that teaching is a creative subject, learning does not happen in a delivery system but through stimulation, provocation and engagement. If there’s no learning going on, if you don’t reach people then the education system is flawed. Teaching may be happening but is learning occurring? Focusing on a narrow spectrum of achievement will lose many and leave others with parts untouched. They’re kids. It’s about curiosity not compliance and a system of testing. Life is inherently creative, we shouldn’t be limiting potential and exploration and diversity so early. | |||

It depends on the outcome you’re looking for. " I'd like a world where ~7bn people have ~2,000 calories each per day, at least one house per 3 people, healthcare for all so on and so forth. We're never going to achieve that if you promote the message that media studies is as important as medicine and accountancy is as important as food production. Our economy is already massively imbalanced towards bullshit occupations that simply circulate wealth that already exists, instead of creating new wealth.

"Are you saying that an economy based upon people emailing each other for 7 hours a day, rather than making something to sell, is doomed? I am. People are disagreeing with me. Back me up hommie There's no need. Compare our economy with that of China's and show me which one is worth more. Then tell me if the winning economy exports more than it imports or not. " Well China's economy is worth a lot more than ours and it's growing a lot quicker than ours too. Our trade deficit is essentially additional debt to the our already eye watering total. | |||

"They often say that "they" (politicians, University Heads, etc) are paid so much as, in the jobs market, their skills would command such a salary.... for people like Lineker et al, I don't think that's likely in the real world, is it? Politicians should get paid A LOT more in my opinion. " This. Politics doesn't attract the best leaders as the pay is piss poor compared to CEO, Military top ranks and even Civil Service pay | |||
