"THE MEASURE OF A MAN"
A CAUTIONARY TALE
TOLD VIA DINOSAUR PROXY
PART ONE
I see all of my relations in economic terms! You provide value to me by providing me a "sounding board" for my ideas, and also (potentially) as a mate!
Conversely, this house provides no value to me, and my relation with it is understandably strained!
please leave me be
You too provide no value to me, young woman! That is why I stomp you with impunity.
Hold it!
Does not seeing everything through the lens of economics ultimately reduce all relationships, in fact all of life, to mere line items on a hypothetical statement of earnings?
Shit!
