 Thanks for the replies.

I’m not understanding or otherwise connecting the dots on this idea of “pure human empathy” as it pertains to price and value; or even barter.

Perhaps it’s becasue empathy is something I have to work hard at…but I don’t make many or any emotional purchases nor adjust price per se based upon the way I feel towards a customer…

So what is meant by and what evidence is there if “pure human empathy” as it pertains to price and value or a product or service (and therefore medium of exchange)? 
 I have done a few lengthy notes on this, they are in numbered title order.  So far I have done 7, from 00 to 06.  I will continue to expand upon this, in order.

So this one I feel will make you start to see the meaning.

 Thanks for this!

Have you thought about putting these into a Nostr article such as on Habla or via YakiHonne? 
 I have not used them, I will have to have a look, thanks for the heads-up.

Here's a table that explains the Empathy breakdown of a Barter exchange.

I've just posted another note, 07 Title: Barter: Empathy and the Magic Wrapping that Money Cannot Buy.   It's got a pretty good analogy in there, if I say so myself  😃 and you may find it interesting.
