| 15. I never meant to imply that there shouldn't be any sports at school. |
|
Only that there shouldn't be any award for the best team or the best competitor. And I don't even really agree with that idea, I'm only trying to figure out whether those who think it's good to eliminate one form of awarding a 'best' kind of prize would agree with eliminating them all, for the same reasons... and if not, what the difference is.
That said, I do disagree that capitalism provides people with an incentive to work hard or push the boundaries of science.
Pushing the boundaries of science is usually very unrewarding, financially speaking. Only seeking out new ways to make money is very financially rewarding (e.g. researching boner pills, or new fake boobs)... the real scientists doing it for the love of discovery are lucky to get a financial reward for their studies.
