So in Kyle’s discussion group we discussed Walker Percy and his idea of quantifying what value to: being the first to find something that person has the whole value, but the millionth person to discover it that person only gets one one-millionth of the value. Now we in the group definitely agreed that discovering something new has it’s own special value because of the nature of the secrecy but then that depreciates in value the more people that discover it. Now yes but no, like I gave the example of finding a little known restaurant and it’s great as opposed to going to a chain and it being alright. And also about the value of how easily accessible a place is like Everyone knows the Grand Canyon, and everyone knows about Mt. Everest but because Mt. Everest is a lot harder to access it is a lot more value because the conditioning of how people are taught it’s a challenge and that it is. So I don’t think one can quantify value like that. And value is dependent on how saturated in the consciousness of the people the place is . and notoriety or fame .
