    We didn’t invent it. Prometheus stole it from the gods. Literally the first form of piracy ever.

        I can still hardly believe how it was allowed to have that one scene in that movie, “Quest for Fire”. The Doggie-Style into Missionary position scene. In such an old film I’m saying. French I guess lol.

    Oh God, the number of comments taking this post as a literal question is too high. I can’t tell if they’re serious or not.

    I guess I’ll do my best too explain. Often pro-capitalist individuals will use the argument that without capitalism nothing would get done and/or invented. The point of this post is that things did get done and invented without capitalism. Thus invalidating this particular capitalist argument.

    Ford Perfect is stuck in a planet with executives and marketing people, and they have nothing

    what about this wheel thingy? It sounds a terribly interesting project.” “Ah,” said the marketing girl, “well, we’re having a little difficulty there.” “Difficulty?” exclaimed Ford. “Difficulty? What do you mean, difficulty? It’s the single simplest machine in the entire Universe!” The marketing girl soured him with a look “All right, Mr. Wiseguy,” she said, “you’re so clever, you tell us what color it should be.

    Fire was given to man by Prometheus. He did it for the betterment of the species. This was the birth of socialism. Prometheus was pecked at in the liver by birds for all eternity for this crime.

    Caveman sees something on fire. Caveman sees animals hate fire, animal burned in fire taste good and being close is warm especially at night. Caveman tries to reproduce fire. Caveman learned how to make fire.

    Freezing to death is a pretty big motivator.

    They might be surprised that open source software exists, is sometimes the best available in the niche, and highly skilled contributors are often willing spend their free time making it better for little more than bragging rights.

    Thunder hit a tree, tree warm. Fun.

    Tree lost a branch, branch also warm, nice.

    Warm passes over to other trees, nice.

    Derek is warm. And unmoving. Even though he was really moving just a sec ago.

    Fun.
