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

Yeah, but what if my number is smaller than someone else's? I wouldn't like that, so we should be able to fudge the numbers so we can make them whatever we want.
