Throughout the vast arc of human existence, you worked or you died. Nature does not hand you food, shelter, clothing, and flush toilets for free. Most of us, if dropped naked into the wilderness, will die within 24 hours.
Bone evidence from colonial America is the colonists worked like dogs and died young. Bone evidence from the Indians showed repeated famines.
Generally speaking, the clan you worked to survive with generally didn't cancel you because a seashell currency accountant saw some tangential benefit for a moment. Which might just be their own survival need to look busy or be a perforative hard ass, to avoid the same thing.
The loyalty you are dismissing as unnatural, was painstakingly discovered by our genes, precisely because it maximized survival in our natural environment.
If you didn't find your work in the clan to be emotionally fulfilling, and stopped working, the clan would not be likely to share the food with you.
Yes, that would be an expected and natural outcome.
You've misunderstood what the person is saying.
Yeah it's really not that serious
Nature also doesn't hand out corporate welfare or export subsidies but some how that's perfectly natural.
I thought we were talking about capitalism, not the things government does.
Please tell me who is going to die if I don't push my employer-mandated vibeslop up to GitHub. I'm genuinely curious.
