Absolutely. Most people can't afford Lamborghini. Roughly ~3 billion people on this planet live at, or below poverty. To them owning a Toyota is more valuable because it allows them to survive in their livelihoods. Generally, the less you have of something desirable the more valuable it becomes. For the starving child, the biscuit is more valuable than the full course lunch meal for the rich kid, because the biscuit is all he has.
- bsuvc 4y agoOne starving child does not determine the global value of biscuits.
- Thiez 4y ago"Value" is inherently something that humans decide, so it varies from person to person, moment to moment, and situation to situation. To me the idea that there exists a single globally correct value for biscuits is absurd.
- jterrys 4y agoThank you. That was the point I was trying to illustrate.
- phonescreen_man 4y agoOne lonely biscuit will not provide value for a global problem of starving children
