there is infinite money floating around, but labor is entitled to none of what it creates, so we can establish some byzantine process whereby a handful of people who already turn their work into fame can now also turn that fame into money, but if you demand to be directly compensated for the work you do then somehow it's you who's immoral

There's one particular website that aims to aggregate engineering jobs in line with one's values. (I don't want to name it, not out of any kind of vagueposting impulse, but because this seems like a symptom of a larger problem.) The site lists several dozen things that a person or a company might conceivably value, such as:

• Has good beer
• Eats lunch together
• Various other traits of a company that might make it pleasant or lucrative to work for but are not, ultimately, values

Things that are not included on the list of values that a person or company might conceivably possess:

• Does ethical work for ethical clients
• Does not do unethical work for unethical clients
• Makes the world a better place
• Does not make the world a worse place
• Anything resembling the above
