gollark: Communal thinking works for small close-knit communities. But that obviously does not scale.
gollark: And as an individual... you need to randomly give companies stuff and hope they'll send you back food?
gollark: The gifts thing sounds bad - just to be able to interact with an industry, you need to give companies free stuff and just hope they'll randomly give you stuff if you ask for it?
gollark: Also non-self-sufficient stuff.
gollark: But it doesn't scale to bigger stuff, and we need it to scale to bigger stuff.
