Funny how "Utility" with Bernuolli is defined as "Pleasure" when Jevons defined it as "usefulness."
Interestingly, George was careful to deny that the general meaning of "usefulness" was important.

Rather, he said, the important concept was "usefulness to you". An electric chair may be useful, but it has no usefulness to you and therefore has no utility.
