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.
