that would raise my utility value

No.

thats not getting a thot a lambo tho

but what if it's a useful thing

to others

Sure, but if you're a good shot and you communicate well and use cover, you are of high value to your fellow soldiers.

trustworthiness has value

people put weight on their emotional and mental health

if I can boost that by being a good person

then wouldn't that raise my value

Yes.

or utility

so it doesn't have to be material

No. It doesn't.

You're all talking about very subjective elements of people's personalities

Not really.

I was confusing utility with production of wealth

Yes.

and some things you just can't buy

That's a common mistake.

okay

but self worth and utility have to be correlated

in some way

Because, let's face it, if you and I were bros and, let's take your name, you were the one that got me to go to the gym and lift more than I would for myself, you're of value. To me.

to my 2nd point

"Their morals, their code; it's a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. You'll see- I'll show you. When the chips are down these, uh, civilized people? They'll eat each other. See I'm not a monster, I'm just ahead of the curve."

people that tend to have high self worth tends to have high utility value

and vice versa

Correlation, yes, causation, weak to moderate (and that's usually going from utility to self worth, not the other way around).

self-worth can grant you higher utility

your mentality can make you work harder

fake it till you make it kind of thing

@Space wix Lol, and it turned out that the "bad guys" downright opted to allow the "normies" to blow them up or not.

if you have supportive friends and a good social circle

of people that have high utility value

See, you're still deriving value from people.

so there can be causation in that way

There's nothing wrong with that. We are social animals.

i'm agreeing with what you're saying

I'm just looking at what you said about causation

Ah, that wasn't clear. I was thinking about the joker.
