No one in particular. But I am coerced into working as are you.

    I'm not coerced, I choose to. I could very well live off the land. The only difference would be the life standard and what I can afford, but hey smartphones, internet and restaurants are a first world luxuries not real life needs.

    Oh my bad. I did realize you're one of the 12ish people that can do that. Can you imagine not having that ability and sympathize with people who don't have that ability? If not, we don't really have any common ground to stand on.

    I thought of another good argument so I'm posting it here.

    Saying that I can stop working anytime and eat dirt is not really selling me on your ideas.

    And I'm not trying to sell to you anything. I never said you can stop working. I never said you can eat dirt.

    You can stop working only if someone else has already worked for you accumulating value so you can consume now. Even a big business if going forward only through work. The work of you or of your forefathers that you consume now but someone, sometime had to work.

    Okay I'm confused. I thought we were talking about corrosion. What does your reply have to do with corrosion?

    I never said anything about stopping work. But I do think if humanity can produce enough, we should work less relative to how much we can produce.
