@dajbelshaw Tell that to the people who pay me. ;)
@Downes That's the *entire* point though, isn't it? That your value as a person and your economic value are two different things.
@Downes@mastodon.social@dajbelshaw I don't think we should use the term 'value' outside economic contexts. The idea of me having a 'value' always reduced to economic terms (though the medium may not be money). A person is an end in themselves, and not (as the term 'value' *always* entails) a means to some end.
@Downes Can't be bothered to argue, as you know exactly what I mean 
@dajbelshaw No need to argue. Have a think about it & I'll wait for you to catch up. ;)
