Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 1 week agoIt seems to me humans have two states in this regard.
“Uuuh, shiny!” Derived from our desire for beauty.
“Uuuh, rare!” Derived from our desire for financial contentment.
There might as well be a third when something looks useful (as a toy or otherwise useful tool), but I don’t think that fits here.

Gift giving, giving rare and/or useful things was a good way to build relationships in a pre-agricultural world.
