Off-topic Rhetoric about productivity is unrelated to observations of political nastiness from covert narcissists responsible for polarizing toxic environments. Talented people with options tend to identify such situations, become disenchanted with being exploited, and eventually leave. Enhance your calm =)

sounds like nearly every job i've had while working for capitalist enterprises =)

Less Off-topic, as some political theories mistakenly assume theoretical efficiency in control of supply and demand resolves most problems. For these individuals Compliance and Conformity definitions are conflated (which is factually incorrect.)

I have yet to see anything significantly differentiating in populations of Homo sapiens.

Be well, be happy, and be wise... =)

Pretty much the quality of discourse I was expecting here. Next time try to stick to opining on topics you actually understand.

The labor theory of value has basically never been shown to work, while the subjective theory of value, however many its flaws, has been shown to work and bring us the world we see today.

Yeah, subjective theory of value brought us the world where a handful of individuals have more wealth than over half the world population, while the rest live in shit.

Industrialization via the profit motive has been the single greatest lever of increasing humanity's quality of life.

The people who say that the rest live in shit in my experience have never been to a third world country and actually lived there. If they did, they'd realize just how shit the first world is.

As long as we have scarcity of goods that must be distributed somehow, communism only works in theory, not in practice.

Edit: Ah, I see, so you're a tankie who grew up in the USSR yet still supports them. Thanks, I have no need to speak to you further.

>that study is about overpopulation

That is the surprising part... it is not that simple. It does however allude to an inevitable decline under theoretically ideal living conditions, as rates of aggression and stupification increase.

You may be amused by the highlights from the paper, and how it closely resembles numerous punitive subcultures. =)

If you read the book then you'd understand what labour theory of value is. Your comments make it pretty clear that you don't. You literally don't understand how it relates to market. Kek as you say.
