gollark: I am a VERY qualified economist. I passed a GCSE in it. This was definitely not worthless.
gollark: What happens if farming gets even more automated than now, and you can just trivially produce reasonable amounts of food from a small hydroponics thing? It won't be significantly valuable.
gollark: Food will have nonzero value as long as there are biological humans? Sure. SIGNIFICANT value? No.
gollark: You could also just directly sell goods/services to people, which may turn out to be a more money-efficient use of time.
gollark: Anyway, in case of general good situations, I would get slightly more money. In case of market crashes, I would lose a bit but, at worst, still have bank account money available. In case of civilizational collapse, oh well, I probably have other issues.
