gollark: Have you SEEN ancient times?
gollark: Also that, yes, you can choose what to do as long as it is indirectly valued enough to get people to give you food and such.
gollark: I am not, however, forced to work all the time, and if I work I get a significant cut of the reward for this, unlike a slave.
gollark: I mean, broadly speaking, I'm at least... strongly incentivized... to do work (when I'm at the societally approved™ age for this).
gollark: This is not how slavery works.
