      There is an admission tucked away here, that the capitalist treats the worker like a consumable good of the type you’d extract from plants.

        wait i have a picture for u

        although i don’t get how that’s related to my comment


        wait wait wait after thinking about it for several minutes, i got it. it’s because plants don’t have a consciousness so nothing can belong to plants. however i’d like to interject that a similar situation arises with children who aren’t considered able to make their own decisions in many situations so others make them for them, however the decision must always be in the interest of the child. likewise, one could argue that while humans hold the plant’s output, they must use it in the interest of the plant.

            actually yeah, being high can be a surprisingly good source of getting new ideas. they don’t always have to make sense at first, but they get filtered after getting sober.

            if you want to be a good writer, you should give it a try i think.
