if the genius society rewards depth then the intelligentsia guild (or maybe just dr ratio) strives for breadth
the genius society seems to be a lot more picky about its members, choosing only those who actually revolutionize their field instead of just people who are at the top
whereas dr ratio's whole thing is about increasing accessibility of knowledge to all life in the universe as long as they want to learn
i don't know enough yet about the intelligentsia guild to tell whether this is an opinion shared by the entire organization or if it's just dr ratio
but dr ratio has more or less completely diverged from the specific path down erudition that the genius society treads, and is going alongside the intelligentsia guild to make another
or in other words nous is a minmaxer with a glass cannon build and dr ratio is a generalist who levels up everything equally

Sorry to just drop into this, but another thing to consider with handmade good and the ‘overpriced’ idea is that you also have to factor in how much stock might sell at any given time.
For example, if you make 100 pairs of earrings in a month but might only sell 30 (because you need to give people options etc.) then the profit from those 30 should reasonably cover the time you spent making all 100.
Also, it should pay for the time you spend at craft fairs, replying to any commissions/ purchase requests, packaging time and going to the post office, any online marketing you might do (tumblr posts etc).
Peolle don’t often factor these in when thinking about the value of crafts they buy, which is a bit unfair.
yes there are other overheads but the thing is. basically all of those to some extent also apply to fibre arts
but sure. to be thorough. i spend 10h a week at my market stall and an hour... let's say 2 be generous with it... updating the shop
if i made 50 pairs of earrings and sold 15, the "materials" cost of 1 pair, to cover their unsold breathren, goes from 42p to £1.40
earrings are far from the only thing though, and account for less than half of the sales. so. we can say that about 5h of stall/shop time is covered by those
(plus the hour it took to make them)
sale price - materials cost but split over 6 hours of labour instead of 1.5 is still £12 an hour

What if Byler gets Murrayed but after they confess there love for each other. Murray is talking to Will and says something like “your boyfriend isn’t the smartest is he” and Will starts to blush and stutter a “he’s not my boyfriend” (since they haven’t made it official yet) while smiling because although they aren’t dating he know mikes loves him too.
