I have never had a construction related accident and our work is exemplary. My own biases to not compromise my integrity because I am not the only person doing the job. Even if I dislike the job or have a negative opinion about the people I work with.
Likewise, with science, there may be some with biases who get in to the peer review (see: Lindzen), the scientific method will fix any errors with such biases.
Me? I like having a lot of money. I don't mind having little. But I'm rather odd in that respect. As your example proves.
I actually dislike money in many respects, because I am a literal individualist, I'm saving money so I can buy property and just live on it, free from a daily life of repetition outside of basic chores and hygiene. I don't mind taking out the garbage, I do mind bending over 500 times a day to do some repetitive task. I have yet to find a job that I enjoy doing, because I like doing a little of lots of different thing, but not a lot of one thing.
What do I value? Honesty. I have lost jobs over it. And you know what? I didn't give a dmn.
Being a judge of honesty is a very difficult task. I simply take everyone at their word, and if they prove to not live by it, I write them off. Tit for tat.
