Why is the goal people over paper clips?

Why do you need justification on this? Would you exchange lifes of your friends or relatives for a ton of paperclips?

No, but I might exchange the lives of someone elses friends for a billion tons of paperclips.

But would you exchange every single person on the planet for 10^18 tons of paperclips?
