    Dungeons and Dragons

    What edition? Here's my advice for 5th edition: Ask the starting level and the expected ending level for your campaign. If it is a low-ish level campaign (up to lvl 10), I recommend playing either fighter, barbarian or paladin. They are all simple to understand and feel really strong early on...

    Let's Debate Inequality

    That's not what I said. You mentioned it being hard to figure out how much value a given enployee is generating. What I have said is that this is already done, roughly, by the employers. The employer never intends to pay more than the value the employee generates. You must also be able to walk...

    Who is defending equal outcome? Provide actual examples.

    Let's Debate Inequality

    The employer already roughly does this whenever a new employee is going to be hired, since the employer never intends to pay more than whatever value the employee is bringing to their company. The issue though is that you may not actually be able to negotiate wages, if you are the employee.

    Let's Debate Inequality

    Like I have already stated. If you keep asking the same question, I will keep giving you the same answer. We have already gone over this multiple times. If you are talking about my weight on Earth, I weigh about 95 kg. How am I avoiding your question by answering it like this? If you ask me...

    Yes, I do. Thus why capitalism is not the defining factor when it comes down to determing the economical status of a population.

    Let's Debate Inequality

    That's presuming all the money you got was from voluntary exchanges. Unless you are a dictator, you are better off spending money to gain political favor to get things done than being a politician yourself. In other words, you find yourself unable to determine what is a reasonable taxation...

    Let's Debate Inequality

    That's not quite what I am saying. In a capitalist society, it doesn't make sense to hire someone to pay them the exact ammount of value they added to the product (for multiple reasons). What I am defending is that businesses should ideally pay as close as possible to that value. This is trivial...

    Underpopulation crisis.

    You have been fed extreme right-wing propaganda bull's crap... Abortion, homosexuality and being transgender have zilch to do with population control. Extreme right-wing propaganda connects everything they dislike though.

    Let's Debate Inequality

    By intervene, I mean whatever work is done by the worker on the product. Some given product had a value before his work, and then it has another value after his work. This is the extra value generated by his work. As I have stated multiple times already: if the employee is the one responsible...

    Let's Debate Inequality

    Here is an example on how to do it: Consider the point in the manufacture process where that employee intervenes to work in the product. How much more expensive did that product become after this intervention? That's the value of his labor. On the value generated by their work. Why do you keep...

    Let's Debate Inequality

    I will repeat myself again: the employee pay is not based on the profit the company makes (given what I am suggesting), but rather the value generated by his labor. Please don't mix up profit with value. To the point they have gained much more money over the years than lost? How about Amazon...

    Not necessarily. Money is power too. Which translates into roughly what numbers for income taxes?

    Let's Debate Inequality

    Ah. So all the very rich people are somehow politicians then. Great. What do you think is reasonable taxation and how did you reach this conclusion?

    Underpopulation crisis.

    In a society centered around capitalism, there is no avoiding the development of AI. Are there risks involved? Sure, but since when has that prevented people interested in making a profit, particularly when we are talking about a lot of profit?

    Underpopulation crisis.

    How would you reliably invest in the population's education without public resources?

    Let's Debate Inequality

    I am talking causation too, not correlation. Can you please cite now as many capitalist countries as you can that got a lot of people out of poverty that were neither: colonizers, imperialists, nor significantly supported by one of the former two?

    Underpopulation crisis.

    I see a complete different set of reasons for the lack of highly specialized individuals when it happens. First of all, lack of information. People might not even be aware there is a demand for a given well-paying job. Second, getting a proper education to do those jobs generally requires...

    Underpopulation crisis.

    Why do you think that having highly specialized workers would require a huge population?

    Underpopulation crisis.

    If I understood you correctly, you are saying that only people with an innate very high intelligence will be able to perform those jobs. But why do you presume this?
