You can't eat freedom.
- guard-of-terra 11y agoWithout freedom it's not up to you to decide whether you eat tomorrow or not. You can hope that they continue to feed you "in exchange" for your freedom. Until they have better idea.
- Balgair 11y agoThis is usually why revolutions occur during times of famine. When they can't even feed your kids, then you have no choice but to seek 'radical' options.
- guard-of-terra 11y agoIt's a a sad truth that a single famine or economic depression can turn your whole life to risk-aversion and only valuing physical security. You'll effectively ruin your life, next gen life, probably more. You survived but you died inside, like a zombie apocalypse.
- Balgair 11y agoThats the opposite of what I said; that a famine causes you to loose risk aversion and thoughts of security. You go for whatever you can see as best, regardless of the consequences.
