Vivek's speech was full of (often gimmicky) one-liners, but he made an interesting analogy about time that ill paraphrase and expand on.

If seconds - the unit of measurement for time - were unpredictable, it would be almost impossible to coordinate amongst our species and plan for the future.

It is no different with money - the unit of measurement for *value* - and given how society has meandered and human flourishing has stagnated since 1971, it shows.

Sats are the seconds of value.
