Aggregations in this case aren't interesting unless the component part of the aggregation is by itself interesting.
A human, due to real constraints can't do a whole lot with an extra minute per day, and humans as a social body due to real constraints can't effectively collectively block-allocate 600 million diffuse minutes to some other cause. Each of them can only reallocate the minute they own/save.
The units and the distribution matter here... a lot. This seems obvious enough to illustrate using your own narrative.
What if I saved 6 Billion people 1ms per day? That's nearly 70 aggregated whole days saved per day. What are you going to spend your newly found 1ms on?
