[Avodah] Evaluating Nezek nowadays without slave markets

why is it not appropriate to see what an investment group would pay
TODAY to own all the future earnings?

So a soccer champion is evaluated - pretty much the way insurance
companies evaluate their policies, and receives his payout in exchange for
all his future earning be they for playing, commentating, endorsing etc.

Nezek is a payment for what has been taken out of the pocket of the
injured fellow. Nezek is not compensation for loss of ftutre earnings,
that is Gerama, he does not yet have that in his pocket.

if the soccer champion loses his ear, the damage is pretty close to zero.
If he loses a leg, he loses the component as a player but can still be
a coach sell endorsements etc. All this will be evaluated and the risks
assessed by the insurance investment company. And there would be a market
and offers and counter offers.

Best,
Meir G. Rabi
