LowRyter Posted October 12, 2022 Posted October 12, 2022 I should point out, when I write "tangible", I include products and service with that. Certainly there are many definitions regarding "value" but in an objective and universal sense, currency is the metric in an economic context. I'll disagree regarding "credit", since it's defined in currency and actually quite specific value based on time value and expected return. Of course we can consider barter, seashell, beads (or frogs), they blur the lines but are essentially a substitute for currency or historically, pre-currency. Essentially these are items of inherit value between buyer and seller but not based on an objective, transferable or universal metric. I read somewhere that there was a genetic mutation, perhaps 7,000 years ago that changed humanity's understanding of mathematics and accounting. I can't remember where I read it or even know that it's positively true. But it's an interesting notion.
Speedfrog Posted October 12, 2022 Posted October 12, 2022 I like my frogs dredged in flour, salt & pepper then sauteed in butter with garlic, topped with parsley and a little lemon juice.. but only the legs(gambalunga?) mind you! Some people pay good money for "Cuisses de Grenouille" at fancy restaurants, and for others just the thought of it will make them queasy... it really is just about what one considers valuable.. but that taste, let me tell you, is deliciously tangible. 1 1
LowRyter Posted October 12, 2022 Posted October 12, 2022 Frog legs are much better fresh than frozen.
