social phenomenon cannot be reduced to quantifiable energy inputs

Yes it can. The caloric energy required for any human socialization is above the minimum necessary to sustain human life, what is commonly referred to as the Basal Metabolic Rate.

The uncountable by definition can't be counted. So is what you're complaining about the attempt at modeling something that can't actually be modified through experimentation?

WTF? Did you even read the post first before making a giant non-sequitur like that? What does the Basal Metabolic Rate has to do with Lindsay Lohan? That the energy required for her phenomenon exist is somehow bigger than the energy inside our potatoes? That's BRILLIANT, man! I'd never figured that out by myself!! Next you're telling what, computer power usage is definitely greater than zero?
