So let’s take a philosopher who works by thinking and feeling. And this by thinking, feeling and doing other things he’s increasing his labor potential. What am I missing?
…the actual labour? Philosophers aren’t paid to just sit around thinking, it’s only once they put the labour into publishing their thoughts that they get paid (possibly).
I mean you’re just arguing that thinking is labour for a philosopher. The statement remains correct. The philosopher is encouraged to think about publishable things instead of just for the freedom of thinking.
How is thinking, theorizing, loving, singing, painting, etc wastes my capital?
It’s time spent not working.
Not a waste of capital though?
Labour is a form of capital.

Right but the moment of publishing is the last stepin the long, tedious thinking and analysis process. Without it there will be nothing to publish.
Anyways, absolutist statements hold no water, other news at 11.

Stretching the other way, painter who’s not painting is wasting capital?
