Sure there is. In fact, all lunch was free until we invented money and farming.
The Sun is a free lunch. "It's raining soup, grab a bucket!"
- nixpulvis 7y agoThe sun still requires space to harvest, much like anything.
- carapace 7y agoWell if we can't agree that each person gets enough [space for enough] sunlight for free just because of birth and gravity, then what is there to talk about? Keep in mind that, if we can beat gravity just a little bit, there's a lot of space, eh? I mean, nothing but, really. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-based_solar_power https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-based_solar_power
- nixpulvis 7y agoUm, no I don't think we all agree about how much space birth entitles you to... But there are some fundamental rights. I'd rather address those directly, rather than give everyone $1,000 and hope for the best.
- carapace 7y agoI'm just pointing out that, as Bucky Fuller liked to say, the Universe is set up for our success, including a huge power plant in the sky. In other words, scarcity is a choice at this point in history and we should be choosing abundance instead.
