The monkey does not KNOW it did as much labor (what does he have, some timesheet?), he feels he did (which is not the same thing), and it is the feeling that mattered.

I get mad when my friends get twice the reward as me, whether or not they worked more than twice as much for the reward.

How is that labor? It is an action, reward situation. If I reach my hand into a bag and get 1 dime, and the guy next to me reaches into a bag and gets a dollar, like hell I will continue to take out of my bag! I will try to get some from his! And I would be angry if I reched into a bag and got a dime, and then the guy comes and draws a dollar form the same bag...but the issue of labor???
You really did strech this example, didn't you?If you don't like reality, change it! me

Labor is an action-reward situation so what's your point?
No it is not..a slave is a laborer, and gets no reward for his labor. So while compensation is the most common outcome, it is not absolute. Most importantly, 'labor" assumes a bunch of socially constructed economic relations. By your definition, any action meant to give any reward is labor..like making a model set, or a sandwich, or lighting a cigarrete, breathing.....
Now, I would love to get fair pay for my acting to stay alive (nice reward), but that ain't going to happen.
Oh, and monkeys, as selfish and self-scentered as they are are not libertarians.If you don't like reality, change it! me
