  Question 176: Why are commodities not interested in each other's use values?   
  [535] Zaskar: I believe that commodities are not interested in each other's use value because they are not being compared on use value but on whether or not society has a desire to obtain a given commodity. In other words, the commodity is validated only when society is willing to offer something of worth to obtain the services of the given commodity. Therefore, it seems that their value is only solidified when society comes calling. It is interesting to me that timing must play a role in the worth of a commodity. It seems that a commodity could be before its time or too late to be of worth to society.   
  Hans: Excellent observation. A commodity is concerned about social1, while its owner is concerned about social2
