Some of these categories are ordinary and can be tentatively evaluated
in terms of the value of certain jobs for which a known fee exists. Some jobs
are harder to value because they are unique to the demands of social
subversion, for an extreme example: the value of a mother's instruction to
her daughter, causing that daughter to put certain behavioral demands
upon a future husband ten or fifteen years hence; thus, by suppressing his
resistance to a perversion of a government, making it easier for a banking
cartel to buy the State of New York in, say, twenty years.
Such a problem leans heavily upon the observations and data of
wartime espionage and many types of psychological testing. But crude
mathematical models (algorithms, etc.) can be devised, if not to predict, at
least to predetermine these events with maximum certainty. What does
not exist by natural cooperation is thus enhanced by calculated compulsion.
Human beings are machines, levers which may be grasped and
turned, and there is little real difference between automating a society and
automating a shoe factory.
These derived values are variable. (It is necessary to use a current
Table of Human Values for computer analysis.) These values are given in
true measure rather than U.S. dollars, since the latter is unstable, being
presently inflated beyond the production of national goods and services so
as to give the economy a false kinetic energy ("paper" inductance).
The silver value is stable, it being possible to buy the same amount
with a gram of silver today as could be bought in 1920. Human value
measured in silver units changes slightly due to changes in production
technology.
