Value - Some Worthless Questions.
Posted by: Adam Meredith on 28 September 2005
In fact - it all ties in with a debate I wanted to start on the foundations of value.
Product X contains a mystery chip and a magnet - transforms the sound of your system
Product Y contains diamond resonance controlling dust, gold screws, 4 of the last 527 remaining legendary Rhondidium MosValves (as developed by NASA but dropped as being uneconomic) and sounds surprisingly mediocre.
Product Z contains fairly ordinary wires, off the shelf components but took one man three lifetimes to develop - sounds two lifetimes out of date.
Product 2 required 729 PhD students to design and is as good as an iPod.
Product iLLpo9 was knocked up on the back of a fag packet by a hifi world acknowledged genius and so on.
What determines value, when do we feel ripped off? Why do we not like "found art" and pay more for a painting that took a week to paint than a brick wall that took two to construct?
Why is a diamond more valuable than a petrified turd?
Does the mind rule the body - I dunno.
