This is great! I think we share a lot of interests, and I especially like the mention of Taoism and your idea about energy being the only real form of value.
I understand everything in physics is made up of energy. Do you think there's any form of value that is created and exchanged in human relationships that can't be explained in terms of physical energy?
Thanks. Interesting question, not sure if I understand it completely. I don't see how you can directly say much about human relationships in terms of energy, but an energy backed currency could still be used in exchange for services. I don't think you can really place an exact number on the value of relationships with friends and family if that's what you mean.
