@PsychoticRape@burnthalies@JackTFaller TBC, profit is not a synonym for gain. It means relative gain. And linguistics evolves irrationally all the time.
@PsychoticRape@burnthalies@JackTFaller So it's your position that value cannot be derived from subjective preferences? There is only the (philosophically controversial) objective value? Do I need this to accept your retarded definition of "profit?"
@JackTFaller@PsychoticRape@burnthalies How absurd! Because the desire to live is constant across all people and without variance in extent! Wait a minute...
@PsychoticRape@burnthalies@JackTFaller At best, you've found a narrow slice of objective value in a sea of subjective value. What about almost every other source of value? Like the relative value of a mango compared to grain? You have no means of understanding this without subjective value.
@PsychoticRape@burnthalies@JackTFaller You're twisting profit into something which obviously carries a negative connotation for you. There's no other reason to arbitrarily restrict profit to financial assets instead of economic ones.
@PsychoticRape@burnthalies@JackTFaller You'd need some sort of divine insight to have any hope of capturing objective value. For a second I assumed you were a priest!
@PsychoticRape@burnthalies@JackTFaller Replace "financial asset" with "economic asset" and you'd obviously be wrong. That's why maligning profit is so important to you.
