@niekvleeuwen @dbattistella We should be glad there was no proto-bezos offering "plowing as a service".
No, you're paying for access to the plow, you don't own the plow, and because you used our plow to sow seeds, we own your harvest....
@niekvleeuwen @dbattistella If you have a bad harvest, you have to compensate the plow company for lost revenue while your people starve.
@Dtraslerwriting
and people who do not plow divide the profits
@niekvleeuwen @Dtraslerwriting @dbattistella
no record of such civilizations because they collapsed rapidly 😸
@Dtraslerwriting @niekvleeuwen @dbattistella
no plows, instead they chose harvesting machinery

I'm reasonably sure individuals with those psychological traits did exist back then, too. They just had an abysmally low long term life expectancy, due to getting kicked out and exiled by the rest of the commune.
