<p>Dont lecture me about utility theory in economics. Clearly you dont understand the need to quantify things. The reason we need to quantify things in economics is so that we have firm yardsticks by which we may undertake cost-benefit analysis. You cant just say you’ll be this happy or that happy. You need numbers to help you make rational decisions. Yes there can be mistakes in quantifying but without quantifying there is no decision in the first place. No one argues that education cannot be quantified but what other efficient yardstick but marks and standardized tests are there to determine how diligent or gifted one is? Do you propose that people sit with prospective candidates and have candid leisurely discussions about the intricacies of life and nature? Smell the coffee hon. </p>
<p>And trust me, you still dont have a right to call that girl stupid. She is a topper cause she works hard, you’d do well to learn from that.</p>
