      You didn't even think this through, disutility means going in the opposite direction of utility For something that has a generally diminishing marginal utility, taking it AWAY has generally INCREASING marginal DISutility

      I.e. if going from having $0 to $50k changes your life more than going from $50k to $100k, then once you do have $100k, taking away the first $50k hurts you less than taking away the second $50k Because it's the same thing, it's the same graph going in the opposite direction

      There IS such a thing as diminishing marginal disutility. The first lash of the whip contributes more pain than the tenth, etc.

      Whether this is true of deaths is debatable, but if we're talking vis-à-vis the economy it strikes be as highly likely.

      Arthur, if you were less glib and contrarian, your natural intelligence would enable you to make better points than this sophistry.

      By this loony argument, Liechtenstein can't hope to have as well functioning an economy as Indonesia, because it has fewer people.

      Is Liechtenstein's small population within its borders the result of having at one time had the population of Indonesia and then watched the vast majority of its people drop dead randomly of disease Is that how you think it works

      And then they just switched over from an economy based on agriculture and resource extraction to a service economy based on offering tax breaks to trendy tech companies overnight? Because that's an easy and smooth transition to make? Is that how you think econ works

          Do you think Liechtenstein's economy would work the same if everyone *outside* of their borders were also seeing a rapidly declining population? The people that they depend on importing stuff from?

          Like this is simply a matter of individual governments' "investing style" ("We choose to have a smaller, high-skilled population and outsource primary industries to other countries -- and we thought disease was the best way to get there!") and not a simultaneous global crisis
