Would you rather do nothing and become filthy rich in a day, or work tirelessly for years and never get paid?
Situation A(E₁) Effort = 0(Δp₁) Profit = 100
Situation B(E₂) Effort = 100(Δp₂) Profit = 0
Where values for E and Δp are treated as percentages for the sake of this argument and their limits are:0≤ E ≤ 1000≤ Δp≤ 100
If we use the equation for Work (W = FΔd) as a base to infer our own equivalent bullshit quantities and derive a new comparable equation, we can then use it to solve for Satisfaction.
Work (W) ≈ Satisfaction (S)Work = The measure of energy that occurs when an object is moved over a distance by a forceSatisfaction = The appreciation of earningsomething that occurs when a person achieves a profit through an effort
Force (F) ≈ Effort (E)Force = Energy as an attribute of movementEffort = Earning as an attribute of achievement
Displacement (Δd) ≈ Profit(Δp)Displacement = The difference between the final and initial positionProfit= The difference between the final and initial wealth
(W = FΔd) ≈ (S = EΔp)“Work is equal to force times displacement”is approximately equal to “Satisfaction is equal to effort times profit”Where the limits for S are:0 ≤ S ≤ 100²
According to this Satisfaction equation: in a worst case scenario low effort and low profit will yield the lowest satisfaction value, greater than or equal to 0; whereas in a best case scenario high effort and high profit will result in the highest magnitude of satisfaction, less than or equal to 10000. Interestingly, when both variables are made inversely proportional to one another the highest satisfaction value that can be reached is only when effort and profit are equal, E = 50 and Δp = 50, and is ¼th the maximum possible satisfaction value attainable in the best case scenario. However, in our particular case, both situations will result in 0 satisfaction since multiplying anything by 0 will always yield 0 product:
Situation AS₁ = E₁Δp₁ → 0 = (0)(100)
Situation BS₂ = E₂Δp₂ → 0 = (100)(0)
In conclusion:You can’t appreciate a reward without earning it through work and you can’t appreciate work done without earning any reward for doing it, therefore:
Situation A = Situation B
