Report
Referee: S Laverty (Antrim)
gollark: Yes, or based on how hard it was or something.
gollark: Anarchoprimitivism is not to occur. Arachnoprimitivism MAYBE.
gollark: The tribal hunter-gathery allocate-resources-through-social-mechanisms thing does NOT scale.
gollark: You can't call a system, the whole point of which is to organize people, "perfect", if it does not actually work on people.
gollark: Sinthorion said it was twice as good for 10 hours to be spent on work than for 5 hours to be spent on the same thing.
