    I think I see what you mean with "No shops currently have two-way exchanges" now.

    However, I still don't think it's too much of an issue, it's just not as profitable to mine for other resources if you expect a fair exchange into diamonds. (Go straight for the diamonds yourself if they're so valuable now)

    I don't understand, I don't believe.

    I thought you were stating that diamonds are worth a lot more in the original post?
    Which means if you are using diamonds as currency, everything is cheaper, and you should invest in non-diamond assets right now to sell later for high profit?

    Or are diamonds worth less now and everything else is more expensive?

    Theoretically, yes. It's literally the only option for what "you" will experience after death.

    And btw, "you" is just referring to some consciousness that is experienced and thus controlled. Because that's all "you" are.

    Right. You would never experience anything until, if ever, "you" witness consciousness. So the only possible thing that can happen to "you" after dying is being "reborn" into a clean slate. Perhaps even far into the past or future.

    Not that you would ever realize this, of course.

    Then they are some people on this planet who have figured it all out. They can get instant chemicals to their brains and get instant happiness.
    They use drugs.

    The only problem is that your brain will adapt to these chemicals and they lose their effect.
    So they up the concentration.

    Eventually, however, you reach a point where it takes more concentration to produce happiness than it does to kill you.

    @GrinningBobcat So the smell of Grandma Ω's pies are tasty and good so you eat it...

    I too love the smell of grandma's sweet omega's.

    "Dopamine, Serotonin, Oxytocin, and Endorphins are the quartet responsible for your happiness." We're just animals with pretty good brains, and chemicals used to trigger our brains in certain ways to help us survive. Now that surviving is easier than dying (thanks to society), we have to think of strange ways to trigger happiness.

    And thus people discuss what triggers certain chemicals to flow to their brain.

    What makes me happy is knowing that even though the universe has no "point" and no "goal," once you die, the only possible experience "you" can witness is a new consciousness. Think about it.

    This isn't a "problem." Just treat the server's very real and dynamic economy as a real and dynamic economy.

    You could become rich by buying right now when the prices are low and selling when the prices are high...

    Derndeff is French for "waffle" and I liked the way it sounded.
    My skin is a near replica of the skin Notch used for himself in the early alpha stages of Minecraft.
