> The work is the same, yet if the take home is different, you've proven that your income is not in fact earned through work in a moral sense.
replyYou could say the same about musicians and authors. Are they immoral as well?
Yes, the same is absolutely true for many other professions. And artists are probably more aware than most, at least on average, how much luck plays a role.
replyBut note that I have been very careful not to call the fund managers individually immoral.
I fail to see the moral problem with being able to write a book that millions or even billions of people can enjoy. To me that's a feature, not a bug.
replyWork on your reading comprehension. The comment you're replying to specifically said they were not impugning the morality of artists or fund managers.
replyMaking great art is wonderful, but it's certainly not "work" the same way that digging a ditch or answering tech support calls is.
