  • You think a person’s worth is tied to their genes. Pretty yuck. I disagreed and explained how.

    For the record I was calling YOU out for linking a person to their genes, just not directly, trying to be courteous to the conversation.

    Keep replying now, and you’re just slapfighting. Not worth it. I said in the last comment our positions are well known and the conversation is functionally concluded.

    I mean if it’s a damaged or failed it’s a bad gene. It caused ms!

    It’s not shitting on a person, it’s discussing a condition.

    I can understand that discussion can lead to eugenics style thoughts.

    “Oh that person has tons of bad genes, they therefore are bad”. That’s wrong though, a person can have a super fucked up body but it doesn’t change their value or goodness.

    When discussing a condition, the genes that improve or cause that condition can be described as good or bad.

    Context matters.





  • He’s a pedigreed professional at the top of his field at the end of his career. Literally a world class statesmen regardless of if you favor his positions. Why wouldn’t such a person be worth 5-10 mil? He earned his position which can be with a strong salary… For decades. Even tame investments in the whole market would steer him handily towards that worth

    That doesn’t even touch on the mountain of social good and enrichment and support of the poor that he has directly contributed to over his career
