Also, that maximizing utility is the name of the game. Doing shit for spite is really stupid but it's amazing how many times that action is played.
In the same spirit, I have always loved the idea of metrics.
Metrics as in 'to be measured'.
It has units. Speed is mph, m/s. Velocity is <x, y, z> m/s etc
And I've always wondered about the units of utility. They seem to be, most commonly, dollars. But dollars themselves are not a unit. Not like a gram or a meter, at least. They're more emotional.
So what is a utility to you?
