And what objective, mathematical formula do you use to obtain these statistics, and what metric do you use to evaluate the value of each job, along with the training involved and the contribution to humanity?
I'm very interested.

[QUOTE=phantasmagoria;15546855]
The entire point of this is that there isn't a way to objectively quantify an individual's contribution to society.
The fact is society has what it has because for 6000 years 100s of billions of people have contributed to society's wealth. Trying to quantify the exact contribution each person made to society is akin to going to the beach and finding a slightly larger grain of sand than the others and declaring it the best grain of sand on the beach, even pointing out how it's impressive size is objective proof of this.[/quote]
Yes there is: money.
