@Lona:
Interesting thought. From what I read in the Wikipedia entry, Pareto principle was originally used to describe the distribution of wealth in Italy. But it is now used in many new contexts like the one I use here. So I think it’s normal if different persons use it in different contexts.

@Ed:
I fell into the same pitfall you mention. I got caught up in reading something I thought I should know while actually it wasn’t necessary. I ended up wasting much of my time. Now I try to be more selective with my readings.

Great points. I think some people get caught up in reading – thus learning – about things they think they should know but might not. Kind of like taking vitamins. If something doesn’t interest someone, it may not be worth learning since they’re not really going to learn it well anyway.

Yes I agree with you on the whole, but the mentioned pareto principle is more about justice than the expressed measure of injustice.

I think it just means that there is no better state, if someone is improving the very own situation by worthening the situation of someone else. This is how I understand the pareto principle.

Thank you for sharing this story with me !
