"when I said "money is the measure of value to society" I accompanied it with a quotation that mentioned both "money" and "value to society" and I did so to make the point that OP was failing to make a point.

if you'd like to defend the original quote, go ahead, I'll bite on that, but here you've just changed the context to no profit.

> Only for a very strict definiton of "value to society"

well, as I was looking for a strict definition of money, great!
