RE: Today Is the 45th Anniversary of The Most Destructive Event In Modern Monetary History

Nature already invented free food, water, clothing, and shelter. She even put it all in one plant and also made it the most powerful medicine on earth--it's called cannabis. But for those that like a challenge, she also spread the resources all across the land. People just forgot how to provide for themselves.

Sort:  

Its just a plant. It takes slavery to convert into useful things. Living naturally is free yes, but it can be seen as a kind of physical slavery. Because I have to slave away for hours a day to grow food, build and maintain shelter etc etc. The reason machines exist it to eliminate all forms of slavery so I can have free time all the time.

#1 It's not slavery if you're doing something you enjoy. #2 Cannabis is one of the easiest plants to grow, and you don't have to do anything to it to make it food and medicine. #3 If you depend upon it, you will always be a slave to the machine.

Go and grow enough hemp to eat etc and come and tell me if it was fun. It would be pure slavery. Personally, I appreciate how machines make my life easier and see how they could one day make life totally free of slavery. I don’t see the dependence as a negative thing, as it is a worse kind of slavery to revert back and not use them.
Also hemp is not easy to grow. No food is, it takes care and lots of attention to get a good yield. Something I'd rather let machines do so I can forget about doing it myself. Machines are a way for humans to move past limitations.
