Free as in beer? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratis_versus_libre

Its weird to be all evo psych about this either way IMO, free as in gratis has only been situationaly possible at all for very short time of human history. All armchair philosophy needs to take it into account! As soon as you recognize that, we're forced to question such pat appeals to nature or what not, and drawn necessarily to consider how systems make humans one way or another.

Put another way, this position is incredibly fatalistic, as well as kinda sad and lonely to my ears.
