The value that you are talking about is abstract and extrinsic -- that means it is applied from outside, and doesn't have material value outside of certain industrial and manufacturing processes.
You're welcome.
And even within the context of industry and manufacturing, the value of gold comes from its utility within those industries; it is a value placed upon if from outside. Hell, even considering the thousands of years of history that gold has had value that Huggy references, that value wasn't just inherent within the gold, the gold was valuable because it was scarce, because it was resilient as a metal, and easily fungible. Again, the value was placed upon gold due to the way it adheres to things humans within communities find valuable. It was a reaction between the attributes of gold and human perception, not simply because gold was gold.
Huggy's got this wrong backwards and forwards, so I guess we can chalk this up as another thing he doesn't understand and will not budge on.
Unless we're discussing food, water, or breathable air, all value is relative.
It's an important lesson to learn.

Hey, prof..FYI, jesus is just as much bullshit as the fucking easter bunny.
Nonsense. At least the goddamned Easter Bunny left me some painted hard-boiled eggs for Easter. The look on Mom's face after a rich fart was priceless.

Huggy admit error?
Jesus will "come back" before the piña -- er, Huggy -- learns the wisdom of admitting error.
