gollark: More substantively, it's a big planet: we could simply live on it and extract resources from others.

gollark: This would be bad for technology, slow and/or wildly unethical, and not very helpful except under negative utilitarianism.
gollark: Subsistence farming is actually boring and unpleasant though. It is good that we stopped doing it. Although "monke" would be hunter-gathering, strictly. Which is no longer possible at scale due to loss of habitats and population growth.
gollark: That would be silly. I just do things at the correct time.
