As usual, you are splitting hairs to win an argument, Arlo.

[Arlo]
Quick recap.

[Ham's Claim]
Take away monetary rewards for labor or service, and you eliminate the incentive to create or produce anything of value.

[Arlo asked]
What was your incentive to author/establish your Essentialism? Monetary reward?

[Ham's First Reply]
If monetary reward was my only incentive, I have failed miserably. Obviously, I have a personal interest in philosophy and a desire to share my thoughts with others. These are incentive enough for me.

[Arlo]
I'm not splitting any "hairs" here, Ham, you contradict your own claim.

[Ham's Updated Claim]
Obviously, not all things of value are produced for money.

[Arlo]
OK. So *without* monetary rewards, there would still be incentives to create or produce "things" of value.

That's all I'm saying.

[Ham]
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, Arlo, and thank you for your interest in my new career as an "author".

[Arlo]
I would think you were an "author" since the day you wrote your book.
