RE: Introduction To Resource-Based Economy - Cost Efficiency Vs Technological Efficiency

in #science7 years ago

You ain't going to be able to account for the world's resources and determine their relative value without a standard unit of measure, money.

A monetary economy does NOT imply exponential growth. There are plenty of stagnant economies out there that use money.

You will never be able to strategically or efficiently allocate resources without a unit of account...money.

Bunch of word salad...

Sort:  

There is other way of counting and measuring things without use of money. It is called mathematics.
Have you heard about it?
That is how 7 y/o kids are already taught to count objects (resources). Also what scientists apply when they need to calculate or measure something, especially Earth's resources (Eureka here for you! They don't use money!)
Get out of your, scientifically illiterate, monetary box and learn the basic fundamentals of Scientific Method and logical discourse. Then come back.

For an example, how would you determine whether it is more efficient to use a copper pipe, or a stainless steel pipe when building a house? There are thousands of such decisions to make in building a house which will greatly affect the cost of building it. How would you determine the relative values of various resources and which one would be more efficient to use without prices?

Money uses mathematics, seven year old kids use money. There is nothing scientifically illiterate about using money. Using money is most efficient way to determine value of various things.

I have seen no scientific method used in any of your resource based posts, just a bunch of new age woo woo word salad.

.

That looks like a lot of inefficient work to do for each of thousands of decisions to make when building a house.

On the other hand, you can just check the prices. :)

Right and then make decisions completely detached from sustainability and efficiency and destroy the planet. Bad idea

Hello,
It's ncie that someone still reads that stuff.
There is thevenusproject on Steemit btw :-)
