Sure, but why the impulse to frame it in economic terms? IMO it's far from the most interesting or insightful framing on the value of human relationships.

- tekla 3y agoHuman beings are at minimum somewhat rational actors and framing it in terms of economics makes it possible to study human behavior.
- sudosysgen 3y agoIt's possible to study human behaviour without framing everything in terms of economics. You'll often be more successful that way, in fact.
- erikerikson 3y agoI do not mean to imply the economic frame is the only. Choosing the "correct" frame seems a modern folly. Instead, that frame is but one of many valid frames, yet valid it is. By using different frames we access different adjacencies in the concept space and by so doing can gain further insights through alternation.
- dasil003 3y agoAgree with everything you said. I've just been in US tech and finance spheres too long for me to find much insight in the framing anymore.
