Why is it problematic? It works. To me, intrinsic value and base value are the same. While you present a good argument, I still think you are overcomplicating intrinsic value in an economic context, with a somewhat enigmatic philosophical interpretation.
Actually, I understand what you mean now and agree with you in regards to gold, in regards to cats and the animal world though, I'll hang on to my 16thC Descartes view that cats are opportunistic arseholes.
+ 1000 Brilliant said Midnight Man!! However it is probably lost on mmissinglink who it appears is immune to the facts :lol:
What a load of gobbledygook !!!! :lol: lol - yeh - to insects and a plethora of other species (including alien species) - I'm sure you're perfectly correct and to them gold has no intrinsic value! :lol:
what a surprise!! two ignoramuses masquerading as philosophical geniuses agreeing.... i didn't see that coming! :lol:
Yippe, clearly from your lack of a single logical argument and the fact that you choose to throw ad hominem attacks at people rather than present a coherent argument, I see that you have resigned in defeat. Better luck to you with whatever other things you attempt. .
In all honesty though, definition of "intrinsic value" has been taken out of economic context here to an extreme level... This philosophical context including such things as rocks enjoying music (bordering on Buddhism or some spiritual-like sanctity) is actually nonsensical to the financial/economic industry.
Definitely skin it first. As you know, there are many ways, but I prefer the Kinetic method: 1. Enter a large room with your cat 2. Grab the cat by the tail 3. Swing the cat around your head (hence the need for a room large enough to swing a cat) 4. Keep swinging the cat until the centrifugal force causes the cat to be ejected, leaving the skin behind 5. Clean up the mess on the wall 6. Hope your partner doesn't find out
But if you want to also make a lovely cat thickshake then I suggest bashing with a tenderising hammer until all the bones, muscles and organs liquefy, then simply roll it up like a tube of toothpaste starting at the tail. (This method also gives you the option of adding abscess pus to make a mousse for the lying druggie babysitter. )
What is the point of turning debate into useless spam about cat cooking? If you don't have any arguments or anything to say that is relevant to thread title then then it's better to not post useless things...
Because humour has the capacity to lighten a moment, allowing those who participate in a debate a chance to catch their breath and realise how fortunate they are to be able to engage in debate in the first place. As opposed to cats.
Reminds me of a trip I took a few years back with a mate who had been a sailor all his life. His great adage: "If you can't tie knots tie lots."
