people want to pay as little as possible to get as much as possible, that's natural to all of us.
- onion2k 11y agopeople want to pay as little as possible to get as much as possible, that's natural to all of us. I'm not sure about that. There are plenty of businesses that do very well selling less at a higher price - there is perceived value in buying an ethical, artisan or luxury good. Perhaps people wouldn't mind paying a bit more if it meant society was better off if they could actually afford to. The notion of doing things for the "maximum possible happiness", even if it means you're worse off yourself, isn't new. Jeremy Bentham was writing about "felicific calculus" more than 200 years ago - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felicific_calculus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felicific_calculus
