The correlation between income and social value
Your explanation on the above conflicts the experience I’ve had with the finance sectors who have caused the 2008 Financial Crisis and bankers’ fiesta with bailouts unless I’m misunderstanding the definition of ‘social value’. I believe the career still is a good option for those earning to give because of the exceptional amount of money people can make, which more than sets off against the socially widespread negative view for financiers if the use of earnings aims at saving the world.
I believe the best example of ‘fake numbers’ may be the measurement of IQ. The problem of this sort of fake numbers is that it is not certain to tell whether IQ really represents our true intellectual being but people still use it to be judgmental or even to justify their study not knowing when to stop to regard it as a simple reference.
Fake numbers seem to prevail in our professional life as companies do quantify people’s labor thanks to technology. They might be good estimates but that kind of numerical fixation affects people’s mind tremendously so that the moment the numbers are revealed it now controls the people. It won’t stay as a mere measurement reflecting the phenomena it gathered.
