This is the dumbest shit I've ever read in my life. Read books.
“Meh, books are woke”
-that guy, probably
Are you assuming I dont read books because I made a joke you didnt like? Wow, you must be insufferable to be that quick of judgement.

Not going to disagree that GDP is a bad measure of economic productivity, but, theoretically, in this case both the economists also got utility by enjoying themselves by paying the other to see them eat excrement. Assuming humans to be rational, it could be argued that there was a net gain of utility (if 100 $ is worth more than what you lose from eating excrement) or at least remained the same, since the buyers considered the entertainment they get to be worth at least 100 $ and that the service providers considered their service to be worth less than 100 $).
But now I feel stupid for writing this.
The whole assuming humans to be rational part is what messes up the calculation.
The core of capitalist economics relies on two things: perfect knowledge and rational people. I believe capitalism can work in so far as we have those two things.

So long as we never have to use this time machine, it works perfectly!
So only in our dreams. Got it
Well, it turns out they're nightmares at the moment, but yes, basically.
