The problem is that 99.9% of our "smarter guys" aren't any smarter than our "burger flipper". .
Yawn. This has already been refuted. Go get your burger flippers to perform open heart surgery or design the next smart device and let us know how that goes.

You're a fool, please get some level of education. At least complete your high school diploma. I'm not sure it would help someone with your limited mental capacity,
When someone starts most of their posts with this kind of drivel, you know you're dealing with the dregs of ET.

excuse me, apparently you mistook me for someone who gives a shit about how smart guys spend their time.
He is attempting, perhaps in a rude way, to explain to you how a fair and VOLUNTARY society would operate. A brain surgeon makes a lot more money than a hamburger flipper. If you forced the brain surgeon to flip hamburgers, then who would operate on you when your life is on the line? The would be hamburger flipper? You need to realize that attempting to FORCE others to do something is abhorrent, unless it is in self-defense. What right do you have to interfere between two people who want to make a voluntary trade with each other? A rich brain surgeon, indirectly, works for the hamburger flipper, when the hamburger flipper requires it and PAYS for it by flipping hamburgers for a lot of people in order to aqcuire the funds necessary. If a man makes a chair and trades it (indirectly through a medium of exchange) for another man who creates couches, what right do you have to interfere? That's the question.

no, I'm not talking about forcing anyone to do anything. It all started when Cutten implied a 15k burger flipper was somehow an inferior being. Then logic piled on explaining that society needed burger flippers so smart people have time to perform brain surgery. We've already proven that people can survive without brains, but I've yet to see one that can survive without eating.

we've gotten so far away from nature that people are deluded into thinking their executive management skill is somehow neccesary for survival. The only neccesary skill for human suvival is hunting and gathering. Modern mans existence now is so precarious that he can only survive by getting someone else to do his hunting and gathering for him. There aren't many left, but there are a few who still know how to survive without a stock market.
