    See that's where I think you're fundamentally wrong. I think every single person has an intrinsic value, and no person is worth more than anyone else. I don't think it's up to the owner to decide what other people are worth, since his own worth would then be dependant on convincing other people they're worth less.

    I also think you're showing the exact ignorance I'm talking about by arguing what you're arguing. Ignorance isn't about being retarded, or stupid. Every single person is ignorant about something. We can't all know everything. You're showing ignorance by arguing that some people's lives are worth much more than your own, simply because they happen to own more. How many rich people are rich because they managed to create something worthy? And how many rich people are rich because their parents were rich, because THEIR parents were rich? Would you be able to be rich and make a great company if you started life with 500 million from your parents? If you did, would your life and comfort be more important than everyone else's?

    I think you're fundamentally wrong in your assumption that any rich person has any worth, and I think it's fundamentally wrong, that anyone's comfort, life or access to basic necessities is less important than any other person.
