    material value

    I think that’s the point that they’re making: it’s supposed to be about which object of immense EMOTIONAL value would make people the happiest, and then a lot of people make it about their material value in stead.

    As much as I understand their disappointment, though, Lemmy of all places is so full of nerds and geeks (said with love as a geek myself) who know a lot about technical stuff that it was pretty much bound to happen…

      Yes, thank you :D (I mean, of course I’m exaggerating a bit by claiming I’m disappointed, it’s more of a… “conceptual” disappointment)

        I was in a band called Conceptual Disappointment. We had excellent stage design, but the music was mediocre at best.

            You know concept albums? It was a concept band where the concept was disappointing everyone involved.

      I think infinite energy would create muuuch more happiness for so many more people. But i direct happiness cheats are easier to understand i guess.
