There's lots of value in being able to influence huge portions of the population. The fact that you consider it morally wrong does not make it invaluable to others.

Agreed. Also just so you know, invaluable is one of those weird words that is intensified with in-, not negated. It means even more valuable, not worthless

> It means even more valuable, not worthless

The "in-" actually is negation; the word means something like "NOT susceptible to valuation", i.e. beyond value.

Hah, you're right - sorry for the confusion and thanks for the note, I'm not a native English speaker :)

[jijijijij]

Semantics. The problem is economic value is not causally linked to human prosperity. Money is a shit metric.

The funny thing is that it's the same tradeoff that slavery was, just to a lesser degree :)
