If he's always on top of things, why is he doing this now and not sooner?

No, wrong. Or else teachers would be able to make copies of textbooks, and they're not.

The dollar is representative of the work you contributed to the economy

If that's true, nobody on Social Security Disability would be getting money.

So basically, the more people who believe in the value of some thing, the more that thing holds actual value?

Yes. That's how value works.

The paradox of value (also known as the diamond–water paradox) is the contradiction that, although water is on the whole more useful, in terms of survival, than diamonds, diamonds command a higher price in the market.

A good post about the kinds of arguments people use online, including tactics which are about the argument itself or some of the people involved in the argument, as opposed to being about the argument's supposed topic.

You should know this to, one, avoid pointless "debates" where no actual issues get debated, two, to improve your own debate style to focus on the issues that need to be debated most, and, three, to see when others are merely acting like they're debating without actually debating the core issues the debate is supposed to be about.
