- e2le 5y agoPolluted air, not air.
- p1esk 5y agoIf you are in a big city the air is polluted air.
- quadrangle 5y agoYes, and we can force "no free lunch" to be true if we use enough nuclear bombs to wipe out life on earth or something. But like clean air is/was analogous to the abundant fruit tree in the comic I posted. And it TURNED INTO polluted air through people ruining it just like the fruit BECAME non-free when Og claimed it and made others work to get any. "No free lunch" is an aphorism used by people who don't want to let there be free lunches. It's not inherently true.
