He said exponential returns on effort. i.e. Hunting a rabbit = 1 unit of effort and 1 unit of meat A boar = 4 units of effort and 16 units of meat A mammoth

He said exponential returns on effort.
i.e. Hunting a rabbit = 1 unit of effort and 1 unit of meat
A boar = 4 units of effort and 16 units of meat
A mammoth = 8 units of effort and 256 units of meat
So it actually kind of makes sense here

- grawprog 7y agoFair point to the poster above. The ratios may not be entirely exponential but yes, your analogy is the point I was trying to make.
- red75prime 7y agoThen can we expect that if blue whale hunt requires 800 units of effort, we can feed entire observable universe with its meat? I understand what was said, I just don't like when people use "exponential" as a synonym for "huge". There's nothing inherently exponential in meat to effort ratio.
