gollark: And yet we have a mostly functioning system which produces mostly enough food, and is able to make the mind-breakingly complex supply chains for that food work.
gollark: Pretty much everything we actually produce is in the "not entirely necessary but nice to have" box.
gollark: There is lots of stuff which nobody really *needs* - you can live without it, society could work without it (if we had set stuff up that way) - but it's not very nice to not have it. Like computers, or modern medicine, or non-bare-minimum food and housing.
gollark: Food is, broadly speaking, necessary to live. But while I could probably *survive* on cheaper, less resource-intensive-to-produce food than I do, or less food by caloric content and stuff, I like to have more/better food than is strictly necessary. Same with water - I won't die of dehydration on some small amount per day, but on the whole I'll be worse off if I don't have as much to drink as I want, or enough water for showering and washing stuff.
gollark: I'm typing.
