well, until we figure out a way to measure someone's true worth/usefulness based on an almost infinite and kaleidoscopic combination of values, we're stuck with using a very black&white linear basis ("highly skilled" vs. "unskilled", let's say), unfortunately. and yeah, it works like shit.

however, focusing on one random property like someone's IQ won't get us very far either.

if we had to pick one way and if it were up to me, i'd at least move in the direction of measuring someone's worth by their ability to "work hard" or not. that could be in any field - brain surgery, construction, being a cleaner, teaching, creative fields, being a cook, etc. etc. - i feel like that would get us a little further along. because being a "hard worker" covers so many positive and useful things.

at this point i'm just thinking out loud, but you know what i mean.
