EVERYTHING CAN BE PRICED IN WATTS (OR CALORIES)

—“The market always works, but it’s not always priced in dollars. Eventually, perhaps everything can be priced in watts (for instance, Steve-seconds is convertible to watts, but each person has a different conversion rate), and imposed costs will be as easy to avoid as saying “sorry, you requesting that I learn new pronouns for your gender dysmorphia will likely cost me at least a few hours in my lifetime in discussion, corrections and explanations, and if it normalizes your disorder and expands it, even if you paid me for that time, the cost to my descendants in confusing them when it comes to producing the next generation for spreading intelligent life in the universe is certainly not worth the exchange you are offering. What exactly do you have to offer me in exchange for these enormous costs your gender dysmorphia is imposing?”— Steve Pender
