Dialogue between 1 & 2 (2's a liar)

1: "Value is only what we perceive it to be."
2: "You're left. We sell into a notion that there is some set price for nothing."
1:"But I'm not just talking about the prices- I'm talking about value. One man throws a stone into the pond, one uses it as a doorstop or paperweight, while the last man tries to trademark the stone so that he can have the rights to all of it."
2: "Who doesn't make a distinction between a stone and a chess piece? Noone, they're all conditioned to see something natural, like a chess piece, as superior to an unnatural form like a stone. So they play with the piece, if they'd really deevolved, they would unlearn the distinction and play with whatever is near..."
1:"You're right, the world would be a better place if we realized that the natural stone can be of equal value to the manufactured chessman, if only we were playing chess."
