Silly nitpick but the free market absolutely can, and has in the past, put a monetary (positive)value on your person. We have of course abolished slavery since then. Which is a weird way of saying I don't think we necessarily should put a monetary value to people. Instead we need to realize that money isn't everything in life. So much of life is unpriceable, and that's as it should be. Attempting to price the unpriceable necessarily makes a mockery of the unpriceable thing. | ||

This is nonsense though. Why do you think religion existed en large mass? It was a means for self-control. In a world where you have OF, lots of soft-porn content, content designed to get reactions etc which billions of people are exposed to to - do you not realise humans are implicitly stating there is a price for everything? That’s essentially what America figured out whilst Europe and the rest have tried to remain ‘true to values’. | ||
