I never said it was entitled to want to be paid the market value. Entitlement is a personality trait, not an aspect of rationality or reasoning.

You basically (literally) said exactly that. "Entitlement" is not a personality trait, "acting entitled" is, and even then it's only a negative if you aren't entitled to whatever you're "acting entitled" about.

"Entitlement" is literally nothing more than having the "right to something." And as a human, you are absolutely entitled to being paid exactly what you are worth.

> you are absolutely entitled to being paid exactly what you are worth.

Sure, whatever. But what you're not entitled to is being worth something in the first place.

If you can't recognize your own fortune in enjoying and being passionate about something which, as a side effect, makes you valuable to companies, I don't really see this discussion going anywhere from here.

I do not understand what you're saying anymore, as it makes no sense.

I know you don't. That's why I already wrote that this discussion isn't going anywhere.
