When a tun­nel always ends.

I lis­te­ned to this while wri­ting this post, try it while you read :o)

This post is the ele­venth in a series of posts about a reflec­tion on our abi­li­ty to social­ly evolve. These posts should be read in the order of their publi­ca­tion. For example, star­ting with the 6th would make no sense to the rea­der. Hap­py reading!

Let’s now explore indi­vi­duals who wish to deve­lop their inde­pen­dence. Of course, they are sup­po­sed to work as a team, for the bene­fit of the com­mon good. Once again, lazi­ness trumps rea­son and the majo­ri­ty will seek to bor­row others’ know­ledge at a low cost. But how is that cost evaluated?

First­ly, the prin­ciple of equi­ty of value can be invo­ked. Ins­pi­red by a form of theo­re­ti­cal gen­der com­mu­nism, equi­ty aims to assi­gn equal value to equi­va­lent jobs. A move­ment that has taken root in the fight against gen­der inequa­li­ty, it is never­the­less based on a vague prin­ciple, equivalence.

I think we should take an example. Let’s take the case of someone from a fami­ly back­ground who has the res­pon­si­bi­li­ty of loo­king after the home. Ano­ther per­son could be in any other paid job. How do you deter­mine that these two occu­pa­tions are equi­va­lent? Is it in the pres­tige? In the effort? In the level of know­ledge requi­red? It is com­plex to deter­mine an almost per­ma­nent equi­va­lence. If we use effort, does that mean that a per­son in a very busy posi­tion deserves a higher value than ano­ther in the same posi­tion, but in a situa­tion where there is a lack of work?

To be continued…
