Interesting piece Henryk.

I see a lot of merit in what you say especially in regards to business.

However I will challenge you on the idea that something subjectively experienced by human beings (what is “good" for them) can ever be measured objectively. As such, although things like wealth can be measured numerically, quality of life cannot. That is a limit to objectivism.

Another limit is the idea that people are fundamentally either “doers" or “moochers". That being a “moocher" is a fixed personality trait, rather than being a state of demotivation that may have many different causes and influences. Someone might be a moocher in a job they hate but be a “doer" once they have found their passion. Likewise feeling disempowered can make someone appear to be a moocher. In my university class I was one of those people who did all the work in the group assignments. I am what you would call a “doer". But a big reason some of my classmates were moochers was because they were foreign students who struggled to speak English! So no wonder they felt less motivated to contribute to the group assignment.
