Daily reminder that diamonds are intrinsically worthless, and the price for them is set by the organization that controls the entire supply chain, which allows them to artificially inflate the price to whatever they feel like, despite having literal tons of gemstone quality diamonds.

Not in the sense that's used here. Though he's wrong too.
Diamonds are obviously worth something, but not to the extent that the people who own all the diamond mines like to pretend. They only release a certain quantity a year to keep the price high. If they released all the diamonds they had at once, the price would plummet.
DuBeers Diamonds.

You can't survive one week without water. Therefore pure water has intrinsic value.

testaburger (12/14/2015) [-] You don't seem to know what "intrinsic" means.
Neither does the rest of FJ, apparently.
So I'll just take my reds and leave it at "People are idiots who don't know the meaning of words" and be on my way.
Toodles.

billiamclinton (12/14/2015) [-] Well, it depends on context really. Just like anything else. Diamonds have intrinsic value in that they are one of the best mining materials, and are heavily used in industry. To the average consumer, yes, their intrinsic value is little if not none at all.

uberbunk (12/14/2015) [-] **uberbunk used "*roll picture*"**
**uberbunk rolled image** When people use the word "Intrinsic", they don't mean "necessary with respect to existence and nonexistence collectively", in which case the word "intrinsic" really has no meaning, they mean "necessary with respect to the existence and progression of mankind." Now, they could add the little "with respect to mankind" every time they use the word, but that just wouldn't be very pragmatic, now would it?
"What bird is that, daddy?"
"Well, you see, a long time ago there was a group of Vikings called the Anglo-Saxons who spoke a linguistic derivative of an Old Germanic tongue spoken by the ancient barbarians of Northern Europe. This language they spoke evolved into, with a massive incorporation of Romantic roots, the language we now speak, Modern English. We being a species of intelligent primates descended from a long line of evolution living on the planet Earth, capable of linguistic communication, that is. With respect to this Modern English which we speak, that bird is called a Duck."
There's thinking philosophically and then there's needless complication. Silly.

battlebrotherlayn (12/14/2015) [-] Basically, they also go under the names conflict diamonds and war diamonds, warlords use them to fund insurgencies that cause a lot of deaths, so they gave them those names to highlight the unfortunate ways they are used.

thepizzadevourer ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-] They aren't worthless if people are willing to pay money for them.
This isn't so much an "evil big company" problem as much as it is a "people are stupid" problem.

corporations (12/14/2015) [-]
Yeah, the amount of tritium in it is actually tiny. You don't need much to make stuff glow. Heck, you can't use much because it'll irradiate people.

mathmanchris (12/14/2015) [-] 80 EUR/gram (~90USD) for the best russian cocaine. 215 is way over the top, maybe if you can snuff it out of a hooker's asshole...

EnergizierAnon ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-] On your question, how would you sell antimatter.
Very Carefully. it would have to be contained in a special container so it wouldn't ever touch any 'matter'. because when anitmater and matter make contact, they make an explosion.
