Title: Would "Kill" for it..
Post by: tp4tissue on Thu, 09 April 2015, 19:27:22: Let's analyze what people mean when they say, " I'd kill for that..... "

If the -killing- of -target- actually assured fulfillment of the agreed upon wish..

IT usually probably HAPPENS.... in fact it's being done everyday..

For example.. If someone says.. I'd kill for another season of Firefly.. That actually makes alot of sense.. And people WOULD do it, if the killing actually made it possible..

Here's why..

1 person's effective lifespan in hours is very limited from age 18 to 65.. and if utilized without synergy from "others", it's even more limited..

So in actuality 2 people's time together is worth more than 1 single person's time..

If all the resources in totality (multi-person) exceeds the life value of "1 person" Then theoretically, WE ARE killing however many persons to produce the show/product.. We killed 100 hours from Tod, 200 hours from Jason, 3000 from Amy... ETC

And it would've taken 3x total George-s, to have done it solo..

So, if the average wish came down to just the total consumption of 1 person's entire productive lifespan..

It'd probably be very reasonable to do so, IF that magical-contract was possible..

I guess what I'm saying is... when people make the wish statement "I'd Kill for..." It's probably an excellent deal, if it were possible.

Tp4 is not condoning murder.. but the trade-principle checks out..

Um..

Well.. u could count it in chickens if you like.. a whole chicken is about 3500 Calories..

2000 calories per day * 365 days * (age 65 minus age 18) / 3500 calories per chicken

2000*365*(65-18)/3500 = 9802 Chickens.

That's what your sum total is worth in Chickens.
