Bit idea: Distill the entire human condition down to one number, put that number on a chart, and base your entire worldview on it (hexbear.net)

We could call it something like GDP and we can point to it anytime anyone says anything about anything, because we have taken the entire human race and all of its myriad components and put it inside that number. Nothing matters except the GDP number.

I'm so smart honestly I'm surprised nobody has done this yet already it's such a good idea. I can prove I'm smart because GDP goes up so that means I'm smart

GDP would be even funnier as a bit if it was always the same number. Look at the chart! It doesn't matter what anyone does the chart is still the same! It never changes! Change is impossible see the chart!
