Dude, you don't really make much sense with all that reductionist gobbledygook. You're quite hung up on the concept of "information arbitrage" in your numerous replies on this thread. You almost come off as a troll but I can see you're serious.
There is more to life than "information arbitrage". You cannot reduce people and society to transactions. Get out of your green-ivory tower. Arbitrage the asymmetry between your theories and reality by living a little. Maybe get laid. But if you reduce that too to some sort of arbitrage, you probably won't, unless you're paying for it, which only reinforces your world view.
> I find comments like this to be sorta akin to putting your fingers in your ears and screaming "lalalalala I can't hear you!".
Ironic.

This is relevant: http://www.paulgraham.com/disagree.html http://www.paulgraham.com/disagree.html 2) Relationships between people are also a study in information arbitrage as the power dynamics between two individuals are never equal unless both parties have intentionally decided to make them equal. 3) If you think the world of business is governed by some other form of arbitrage, please put your theory forward. If you think the world is not governed by arbitrage, please tell me what governs the world. It is not reductionist, it is an attempt at distillation. Reductionist would be to ignore the pertinent facts of the discussion.
