So the amount of rsources is not a physical matter question? It is literally the first question of justice.

Only partially - there is certainly physical matters, but there is also metaphysical matters.

An example: your opinions on various matters, and how these opinions affect your behavior, which in turn affects the overall system.

Can you link to the resource you're referring to here? I'm curious if there is an accompany peer-reviewed scientific proof.

We need to know how much there are resources in order to articulate a pareto efficient distribution of them. What makes you to distort everything that has value and is the easiest part to grasp of the subject matter?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphysics

> Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that studies the fundamental nature of reality, the first principles of being, identity and change, space and time, causality, necessity, and possibility.[1] It includes questions about the nature of consciousness and the relationship between mind and matter, between substance and attribute, and between potentiality and actuality.[2] The word "metaphysics" comes from two Greek words that, together, literally mean "after or behind or among [the study of] the natural". It has been suggested that the term might have been coined by a first century CE editor who assembled various small selections of Aristotle's works into the treatise we now know by the name Metaphysics (μετὰ τὰ φυσικά, meta ta physika, lit. 'after the Physics ', another of Aristotle's works).[3] > > Metaphysics studies questions related to what it is for something to exist and what types of existence there are.

Metaphysics is considered one of the four main branches of philosophy, along with epistemology, logic, and ethics.[5]

Best get cracking then! Maybe it's a good idea to take an ontology textbook with you on your journeys.

Technically, from a scientific perspective, your mind is what makes "me" "do" that.
