Well you're forgetting being born, having to endure growing up if you got lucky, hoping you maybe got sold to a higher family. At that point you might as well just stay in your luxury of kings for the common folk.
Where are you going to gather the lumber from? Are you going to build the tools too? Smelt your iron? Pan for it first? Whered you get a pan?
Notice how you said 'as long as you can live' when that's not a huge concern right now. Spoiled is spoiled, but dense is something else.
Capitalism doesn’t free us from any of that, community does. It’s standing on the shoulders of giants and advancing our understanding of the world that saves infants and puts food on tables. Not people who own the tools skimming off the top from the people that do the work
Capitalism =/= Money
Money is the only fair way to compensate your time. That is the metric that is used because if actual work gets compensated it skews riches to able bodied, young, etc.
The systems in place are bad, but complete abandon is too. That is why talking of reform in the public forum is pertinent. Destruction without creation is just wicked.
If you talk about giants, what did the bible add in value to humans? Im curious as to your insight, genuinely.
they (tankies) have no insight worth your curiosity
Those that turn away from truth must be invited, invigorated, and witness.
We can learn from all, but one must first want. So leave the door open, let them hear your joy and passion. Let them envy and soon they too shall be at the table.
We all want to escape pain, no one will ever understand it except you. It is like spirit, deeply personal and interconnected with you - however cannot be unbound. All have it and dxperience it, but only you know what the pain has formed.
My pain has formed me and I would like to reduce it for others by carrying more. It is the only thing I can do.
