The Value Crisis Glossary
"More is ALWAYS Better"
This is the flawed but unavoidable essence of any quantitative (number-based) value system.
It is true by definition: In a quantitative value system, value is measured by quantity, and more quantity is always of higher value. The key word is "always"; that the idea of "more is better" is always true - there is no maximum, and no concept of sufficiency.
It is a flawed concept because nothing in the real world has this property. There is nothing for which more is always better, for any lifeform or natural phenomenon.
