Rah rah.

So you are sitting in your economical abode eating your economical food with a pleased non-servant grin. And there you sit. And sit.

The urge to build or do will come. Building is better with others. And soon you are back to having to make trade offs to build something you want or people want.

To me, I'm always going to build. So yeah, all I can do is either pick the best masters available to me, figure out how to spread out the masters (client vs customer) or decide that in the name of freedom, I'm not doing anything and try to declare stagnation a virtue.

More like there you toil in the hot sun so that the crop on which your future survival depends doesn't become choked by weeds, devoured by pests, or withered from heat. People forget that agriculture was a back breaking affair and an often unreliable source of sustenance before mechanization and large factory farms came around. It remains back-breaking and unreliable for those in poorer nations not fortunate enough to have found a more high-paying "servitude."

Who said anything about agriculture? That shit's hard work. Does driving to the supermarket and buying food somehow preclude living off the grid?
