    Caveman sees something on fire. Caveman sees animals hate fire, animal burned in fire taste good and being close is warm especially at night. Caveman tries to reproduce fire. Caveman learned how to make fire.

    Ford Perfect is stuck in a planet with executives and marketing people, and they have nothing

    what about this wheel thingy? It sounds a terribly interesting project.” “Ah,” said the marketing girl, “well, we’re having a little difficulty there.” “Difficulty?” exclaimed Ford. “Difficulty? What do you mean, difficulty? It’s the single simplest machine in the entire Universe!” The marketing girl soured him with a look “All right, Mr. Wiseguy,” she said, “you’re so clever, you tell us what color it should be.

    Fire was given to man by Prometheus. He did it for the betterment of the species. This was the birth of socialism. Prometheus was pecked at in the liver by birds for all eternity for this crime.

    They might be surprised that open source software exists, is sometimes the best available in the niche, and highly skilled contributors are often willing spend their free time making it better for little more than bragging rights.

    Capitalism wasn’t invented, it was discovered, just like fire. Capitalism is what you get when the state relinquishes its control over capital.

      Pretty sure there are societies that don’t have a state OR money. One might even call them stateless moneyless societies. You know, communism.

        You don’t need money or a state to have capitalism, you just need private property.

    Thunder hit a tree, tree warm. Fun.

    Tree lost a branch, branch also warm, nice.

    Warm passes over to other trees, nice.

    Derek is warm. And unmoving. Even though he was really moving just a sec ago.

    Fun.

    We didn’t invent it. Prometheus stole it from the gods. Literally the first form of piracy ever.

        I can still hardly believe how it was allowed to have that one scene in that movie, “Quest for Fire”. The Doggie-Style into Missionary position scene. In such an old film I’m saying. French I guess lol.
