- uoaei 3y agoYou seem to be consistently conflating potential value with real value, but potential value is and always will be a red herring, so it's important to distinguish them and treat them each separately.

The effort of humans can be deployed wastefuliy, like making snowmen, or not, like planting crops and building shelter. Wealth represents an assessment of the value to humans of existing resources and it can go up and down based on the decisions of how to allocate that wealth. There’s absolutely no controversy whatsoever about this concept despite your desire to not acknowledge it.
