You are a philosopher my friend, it seems you leave yourself much time to think, and your mind wanders.

If, however, our socioeconomic structure falls apart before that happen, human life's worth would increase significantly, and that'd be the repetition of a cycle.

what about the egotistical sons of bitches who will always have a feeling of self worth? and impervious dignity. or the people who create the technology that makes the rest of us FEEL worthless? are they not worth more then the rest?

I would argue the worth of a person is judged by a person's actions. I would, but i'm too busy masturbating to pictures of five year olds eating cake.

GeeDoggy 2010-04-26 15:47:32

that was awesome

I am suddenly very curious as to what you did on my birthday....

Kajenx 2010-04-26 17:13:51

One problem with that though. Worthless cannot equal both priceless and zero, as priceless means "without price," and zero is a price.

Priceless would better be defined as infinite worth, and worthless would be 0. Therefore human life cannot be said to have a price if it is priceless, rather that it is beyond measure.

Motivating the suicide of several members of the jury?

Just how boring WAS this court case?!

HotChiliGumption 2010-04-26 18:58:49

no. your reasoning is based off of a faulty premise. the price of an object is not its worth. worth supersedes price. some of the most valuable things i own had no prices, i didn't buy them, and yet still being priceless, they are worth more than the world to me. worth is an intangible, more emotional (spiritual one might say) value of something. price is base material value.

your first paragraph is too much of a blanket statement. the second paragraph of your post narrows the scope and you make a very important distinction there: "via economics". yes, via economics humans will become worthless. but the spiritual and artistic worth of a human will remain, something that is overlooked by the blanket statement of the first paragraph and never modified in the subsequent paragraphs.

and fava beans. fefefefefe!

All human life is meaningful, no matter how many humans there are and how far technology has advanced, this is because our "price" differs to different people, our family values us more than some stranger in another country for example.
Prices are invented by humans to judge worth of an object, not a living, intelligent creature.

When one says the value of life is priceless, that man intends the statement to be taken positively due to its connotation, not literal meaning.

But while we're still on this subject, did you know the laws of thermodynamics apply to society as well as matter?

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIVIDE BY ZERO!

SpamClamberton 2010-04-27 06:29:10

the value of a human life would be rather low, seeing as it costs nothing to get someone pregnant. But the value of each individual human is different. The worth of something (when talking money) is based on how much other humans need it, which means the more useful you are, the more you're worth. And even if you can't do shit, there's still uses for your body/body parts that people would be willing to pay for.

Johnny-Coolguy 2010-04-27 19:16:35

Perhaps the price of a human life is an average of each individual's financial assets. That is, could a person's worth be determined by the total numerical value of the things (physical or not) owned by any said person?

Pjorg 2010-04-27 21:04:47

Obviously he doesn't believe in any of this. It's just a bunch of logical fallacies strung together. He just wanted to come up with a way of justifying the new job he created for the janitor.

Johnny-Coolguy 2010-04-28 20:33:49

@ Pjorg

Of course, but it got me thinking about it.
Also, I just noticed the person above my first comment said the same thing, but in a better way. Crap.

IMMAH FIRIN' MAH LAZOR!!!

Wolf-Raven 2010-06-06 23:21:32

Human life has worth. All you need is a war and less robots. But even though it's all joking, it actually had me as logical for a little while. Suffered a seizure during that time, but that's all coincidence.

Also, i find your $20 tip must be equal to the service given. 15 handjobs and a walk of the dog, I'd say. so that comes down to a buck a hand job and a single dollar for walking the dog. Price had to be more because it was punt-able (as in able to punt).
