There's this old libertarian way of like teaching people how important commerce is.
And you see, think of something like a pencil.
They're so plentiful that you can just take one.
Like pencils are free.
Yeah.
Basically.
Essentially.
But no one human being can build a pencil.
You've got to get the materials.
You need the equipment to process the raw materials.
You need to manufacture and construct.
The actual pencil.
I could go get a free pencil from the bank, break it in half, and they're gonna give me another one.
Like they're just it's like salt, they're just everywhere.
But it requires this insanely complex social organization to make something as simple as a pencil and just like ordering people to make pencils is not the thing that gets pencils made.
Yeah.
Other animals just don't have the level of sophistication that our social organization does.

It goes back to the stone age.
Good luck hunting a mammoth all by yourself.
