Nonsense. You aren't going to successfully run your fancy company if you don't hire some janitors.
The Pareto Principle essentially puts the nail in the coffin of the argument that biology doesn't dictate far more than what agenda-driven 'science' wants anyone to think.

Originally posted by @apathistThe point was missed. If I asked who did the 80% of work in your fancy company, you would not have even thought about the necessary janitors. The "law" is ill-conceived and ill-expressed. In a word it is stupid.

He was talking about the idea that people who rise to the top do so because of superior intelligence.
Where the 1 % gets most of the money and the 1% of THEM gets even more of the total money and so forth. That is the gist of Price's law, the intelligence curve ensures that happens in all enterprises.
He mentioned music as example, where Mozart and a few others get most of the airplay on radio and the rest, who may be just as good a composer, will languish because people mostly go with the winners.
Price says that is a law that transcends just money.
He decried what happens to those considered unemployable, those with IQ's of 80 or so.
US military does not accept anyone with such IQ's and they WANT people.
What does that say for the outside commercial world?
He made the point that it is not a simple job to work at McDonalds.
So what work is there for a low IQ person?
IQ 80 is around ten percent of the population so they are to be left out of the workers equation.
They never find work so never get included in the unemployment numbers, now T touting HE got the figures down under 4% but those numbers are misleading, not including people who have given up looking for work or those totally unemployable, not counted in the unemployment numbers.
Counting all that, the real numbers are more like 15%.
And will stay that way forever.
Unless there is a way to bring up the lower end of the intelligence curve there will ALWAYS be unemployable people.
Of course thinking like that is what gave NAZI's the incentive to do genetic experiments.

You have proof, of course, for such an incredibly baseless assertion.
There is NOTHING in any literature whatsoever to suggest the Nazi's were aware of, or even considering any of the distribution principles as a means to the inhuman practices they adopted.
The only profitable light to consider these principles is the impact on individuals, not ascertaining methods of manipulation on groups.
A person rightly assessing their life's output in relation to the group is the most effective use of this information, this reality and fact of life.

There are ecactly three ways to become rich:
1. Be phenomenally lucky. (This one includes most rich artists, who happened to get popular at exactly the right time, unlike most other artists who may be just as talented but didn't, say, find a publisher willing to take that first risk.)
2. Be completely unscrupled. This includes most business magnates.
3. Be born into it.
Some rich people combine 2 and 3.

However it happens, the rich get rich and the poor get poorer. That seems to be how it works.

I suppose it is no surprise you think there was nothing wrong with NAZI medical experiments, eugenics only one aspect.
Zero regard for human life, do an experiment, kill the victim so he can't later bear witness to world courts.
You don't surprise me at all.
BTW, all your 'matthew' principle shows is the bible written totally by humans, no god need apply,

Besides the idea that Nazis drew conclusions regarding distribution principles, incorporating such into the inhuman experiments conducted, that is?
