[extropy-chat] Why I am No Longer a Libertarian Either...

[Al Brooks]

Do artificial markets exist? I was brought up to think junk food and cigarettes, for example, are artificial markets. But you could say they have value in some market niche, correct?
You get to a certain age to realize everything you think is based on your upbringing and what you want to retain over the years...

You are stuck in
another chicken-egg paradox here Stuart that is a result of your
ingrained prejudices and not the facts. The market always finds proper
value. Claims that Bill Gates or Steve Ballmer isn't worth what they
are paid, or Jobs, or any other highly paid CEO are based on
puritanical protestant prejudices against ostentatiousness and
inaccurate memes that claim that one man is worth any other.
