gollark: I suppose you could probably say something about how the economy was better when stuff was differentiated and stuff was made by individual craftsmen but that's stupid and would make no sense for silicon stuff.

gollark: I'm not sure about real estate, it's not like you can trivially swap 1km² of land somewhere for 1km² elsewhere.
gollark: I'm *guessing* your complaint is along the lines of "people need water → no trading of it allowed → commoditisation involves that" but I can only really guess.
gollark: Yes, but that means multiple things ish.
