@makehacklearn Yes… Seems like this is something a market can sort out. It does in Buddhism, to the extent that there are paid clergy.
Protestants do have ritual professionals, some well-paid. Could whatever doublethink justifies that transfer? (Asking from ignorance.)

@makehacklearn I.e. there’s no need for a group agreement about who gets paid; if you think someone’s services are worth paying for, you do.

@makehacklearn Right. That’s the market answer; “deserve” has nothing to do with it. -
@makehacklearn (I’m not sure a market solution is the right one, but it does solve the “who deserves to get paid” problem.)

@makehacklearn Well, from a market point of view, no grounds for complaint. On other hand, public perception that Buddhist teachers *should* -
@makehacklearn *should* be poor is bogus and part of the problem. If you are monk, then yes. Otherwise, no “should” about it.

@makehacklearn Yeah. So maybe that’s fine… or maybe there’s been a failure to explain why that’s something some people would want.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@makehacklearn Absolutely! I do seem to arguing for a market solution… in which you have no guarantee of being paid for what you want to do.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
