It's a nice offer but I wonder how people should trust them with their watches?

- kleer001 12y agoI think it's a clause in the universal customer-business law that says "I want to pay what you're asking just as much as you want to give me the thing I'm paying for. My purchase and good will is more valuable to you than a series of thefts." That's not written down anywhere except the over-arching idiom, metaphor, very ground of the relationship. Is the kind of relationship that can slippery slide into parasitism. And therefor I think extant in many sentient species. Great apes, many primates, birds, cephelopods maybe even. I think it's a reflection of a few basic strategy for living in the world, in a world with limited resources, trust and exchange.
