I hate gold

For example

And silver is way better

Not true. You can choose to not use a hammer for its purpose but it still has one

Whether you use it or not is up to you

I mean a value estimated from the standpoint of the best possible to man, i.e., by the criterion of the most rational mind possessing the greatest knowledge, in a given category, in a given period, and in a defined context (nothing can be estimated in an undefined context). For instance, it can be rationally proved that the airplane is objectively of immeasurably greater value to man (to man at his best) than the bicycle—and that the works of Victor Hugo are objectivelyof immeasurably greater value than true-confession magazines. But if a given man’s intellectual potential can barely manage to enjoy true confessions, there is no reason why his meager earnings, the product of his effort, should be spent on books he cannot read—or on subsidizing the airplane industry, if his own transportation needs do not extend beyond the range of a bicycle. (Nor is there any reason why the rest of mankind should be held down to the level of his literary taste, his engineering capacity, and his income. Values are not determined by fiat nor by majority vote.)

I can give a hammer a purpose of chopping trees

@JohnOakman KEK

not smart

But it can be done

You can choose to use the hammer as such but it's not the purpose of a hammer

In your eyes

Just as the number of its adherents is not a proof of an idea’s truth or falsehood, of an art work’s merit or demerit, of a product’s efficacy or inefficacy—so the free-market value of goods or services does not necessarily represent their philosophically objective value, but only their socially objective value, i.e., the sum of the individual judgments of all the men involved in trade at a given time, the sum of what they valued, each in the context of his own life.

or the drill

She should use a rubber mallet

Perspective

or you know... let the drill do the work

The hammer is designed to hit things, not chop things. It's evident when you use it

@Whithers

smash the wall

faster

its designed to fit a purpose yes

Ok

that's a lot of damage

given by the people

It's designed with a purpose

with enough force you can "cut" a tree down with a hammer

Yes @Beemann

By people

This does not mean, however, that the values ruling a free market are subjective. If the stenographer spends all her money on cosmetics and has none left to pay for the use of a microscope (for a visit to the doctor) when she needs it, she learns a better method of budgeting her income; the free market serves as her teacher: she has no way to penalize others for her mistakes. If she budgets rationally, the microscope is always available to serve her own specific needs and no more, as far as she is concerned: she is not taxed to support an entire hospital, a research laboratory, or a space ship’s journey to the moon. Within her own productive power, she does pay a part of the cost of scientific achievements, when and as she needs them.

with a big enough lever and a good stand point, you can elevate earth

u know

If there was no people nothing would have worth

Wrong btw @JohnOakman

You would need to plant a thing on the sun

hehe

@Rouqen You cannot measure value without context

what

@Whithers semd help

Lmaoing

Market value is societal objectivity
