Rough draft of some law I made up

I was talking to my Aunt last night, and she noticed an instance of a law (rule) that I created in my head two years ago. I haven't worked out the kinks in it, but it's pretty good as-is, and so I probably won't do anything more with it.


Inverse quality law: the amount one gets out of something increases inverse proportionally to the amount one puts in. For example, the faster an object is going, the harder it is to make the object go even faster (you need much more energy to increase an extra Km/hr at high speeds, but not much at low speed). Another example: the more one pays for a service, the less one gets out of it (think of how the higher in rank a manager is, the less work/stress they generally have. The grunt who gets paid least works the hardest). A third example (and I do say, I *have* to stop thinking this way about school...) The more money spent on a school, in the long scheme, the less significant advantage the school has compared to others (a degree is a degree. But the extras that make a school cost more cost a lot and yield little).

Take a look around. It's easy to be paid more for less.
