gollark: As I've said before, I don't think it was ever that.
gollark: We can only measure it from consumer preferences, and (since people would lie if you directly *asked* about their willingness to pay for various things for various reasons), short of orbital mind-reading lasers, the only useful way to do this is observing markets.

gollark: Intrinsic value is a lie, actually.
