Value creation is intrinsically wasteful because it's unpredictable; the only way to check is to guess.

You can't optimize it beyond a certain point without killing the generative function at the core of value creation.

The generative function that produces the fruit also needs to keep itself alive.

Value-creation is like agriculture.

You want the fruit (the meaning, the value).

But to make the fruit you have to create a plant that can survive and live in order to be able to create the fruit in the first place.

Thousands of years of coevolution got us lush strawberries. But you still can't say " I want the strawberries, not the plant".

The fruit can only exist when produced by a plant, and the plant needs to be able to keep itself alive.
