Pareto superiority

Read a random definition: repressed-memory syndrome

A quick definition of Pareto superiority:

Term: Pareto superiority

Definition: Pareto superiority is when an exchange happens that makes someone better off without making anyone else worse off. If this is not possible anymore, it becomes Pareto optimality. Basically, it means finding a way for everyone to be happy without hurting anyone else.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Pareto superiority is an economic concept that refers to a situation where an exchange can be made that benefits at least one person without harming anyone else. Once such an exchange is no longer possible, the situation becomes Pareto optimal.

Example: Suppose there are two people, A and B, who each have a certain amount of money. A has $100 and B has $50. A is willing to pay $75 for a rare book that B owns, and B is willing to sell it for $60. If A buys the book from B for $60, both parties benefit. A gets the book he wants and B gets $60, which is more than the book is worth to him. This is an example of Pareto superiority because the exchange benefits both parties without harming anyone else.

Another example of Pareto superiority is when a company hires a new employee who is more productive than the previous one. The new employee benefits from the job, and the company benefits from the increased productivity. No one else is harmed by this exchange.

In both examples, the exchange benefits at least one person without harming anyone else, making it an example of Pareto superiority.

Bio Chemistry is odd, some ppl just cannot absorb certain nutrients/vits. Like some calcium deficient ppl actually loose more calcium when they increase intake.

also some ppl are hyper sensitive to hormones/vit/nutrients.
