RE: Can anything ever be truly "FREE"?

in #philosophy8 years ago

Thanks @thecryptofiend for writing this article! Nice job! It is always good to know about economy and economics. That was one of my favor classes when I went to college and them to the University. I had other classes as well and my third favor class was sociology and political sciences. Yes, I also had philosophy. Many people think that economics are everything because there is a cost for everything we do and from there comes the idea that; "There is no such a thing as a free lunch". However, life is more than that! I am sure some people one day, seated somewhere in the dark of the night observing the stars and planets in the Universe. I am also sure it probably occur to them that the Earth, our own planet that gives us everything for free also spin around itself and around the Sun without charging us for that. No one comes here in the end of the Month and says; "You had 39% of sunlight and 59% of oxygen this month, pay us out!" If one will ever think about that they will probably realize that humans have not evolved that much. Life is not made of only products, services, and information. There are certain things in life that have no cost and others must be paid by everybody into the pot. As a society and as humans we still have lots of things to learn. One day some people will probably realize that there are certain things you cannot transform into products. Economy/economics is only a part of human development and history and many people have not understood the use and full potential of these things yet.

Thanks for such a great response. I agree. Most people do not understand the value of things and try to commoditise everything.

Thank You @thecryptofiend! Your article is very enlightening!
