Title: Time
Post by: genjix on November 03, 2011, 04:23:17 PM
I caught my mum watching a film yesterday which I think is based off this animation:

(lol Gavin (56) looks like gavin andresen)

Film:

Premise is that time is the currency. 1 cup of coffee = 4 mins. I get the impression though that if that were the case then the economy would shut down and everyone would hoard. but who knows if the supply was inflating.

  Aye, love the concept of that movie. Will be watching it soon as I can just for that reason.

  You over-estimate the ability of humans to rationalize. Their time is counting down anyway, so why not enjoy it? Humans are simple like that.
