      “influences” is a pretty weasley word. show me a formula that actually (as in, verifiably) predicts how “demand” (a pretty weasley word itself) influences supply (probably the only concept for which we will be able to produce quantifiable numbers)

            ok, I used to eat animal products, but then I decided it wasn’t nice and so I stopped supplying them to myself.

                demand was when I wanted a hamburder. me wanting a hamburder is 1 demand.

                1 demand = 1 supply.

                I don’t see why you would compare that to global supply. I am not equal to the global population. That was a very illogical leap you took.

                  can you see how your want is not quantifiable? how much did you want a hamburder? could you have wanted it less? would that have decreased the supply? this is pure storytelling.

                    I just quantified it, why would you say I didn’t? Everytime I wanted a hamburder I supplied one to myself. There were no degrees of wanting at all, I either did or didn’t.

                    And this isn’t storytelling, this is literally what happened. You’re the one trying to muddy the waters.
