Predict a flood of meter "purchases" between itself by which the
cult
can "establish" "value," for any number of reasons.
Clearly it's in their interests to sell one of these things to every
man, woman and child on this planet for the next endless trillions of
years. That is, taking endless trillions to be between ten and twenty,
let's say fifteen trillion, figuring for no planetary population
expansion or contraction in all those endless or fifteen trillions of
years from the present rounded-off figure of six billion, and
accepting an average lifespan of eighty years and a winning bid of two
grand, the very snug little sum of three hundred sixty quintillion US
dollars.
That's not taking into account model changes, which would move the
figure into the sextillions and way way beyond. And "model changes"
take care of patent protection problems.
My math may vary. Also, redo the calculations when the winning bid is
in.
Do you have your meter yet?
