And I'm not interested in discussing it.
You mean you're not interested anymore. You previously stated that the value of those self-replicating robots would be zero:
It is priced. If you want something that you can not produce yourself (because you don't have any robot, in which case you'll probably ask for a robot), you might find someone (at least one person), that will give it to you without asking any payment (because he will just order one of his robots to make it). By definition, it will mean that the price will be zero since at least one transaction can occur at zero.
Why? Because they make themselves. Their labor is free. Since their labor is free, that makes the cost of making another one zero, yes?
That's the labor theory of value. Labor is not the only factor which goes into a price. By applying the labor theory of value to a high-technology society, all you have succeeded in doing is making every cost an externality.
This isn't morals. It's economics.
