Worthiness Precedes Reward reminds me of a thought I had around 1990: "What would an ethical system look like in which the statement 'He got what he deserved' was a tautology?' It wasn't until a few years later that I looked back at that and realized the answer was " pretty useless"—it wouldn't offer any guidance whatsoever.
