There's lots of value in being able to influence huge portions of the population. The fact that you consider it morally wrong does not make it invaluable to others.
- hackeman300 2y agoAgreed. Also just so you know, invaluable is one of those weird words that is intensified with in-, not negated. It means even more valuable, not worthless
- denton-scratch 2y ago> It means even more valuable, not worthless The "in-" actually is negation; the word means something like "NOT susceptible to valuation", i.e. beyond value.
- Longhanks 2y agoHah, you're right - sorry for the confusion and thanks for the note, I'm not a native English speaker :)
- ajuc 2y agoThe funny thing is that it's the same tradeoff that slavery was, just to a lesser degree :)
- jijijijij 2y agoSemantics. The problem is economic value is not causally linked to human prosperity. Money is a shit metric.
