Once I exchanged a plough for a ho. That was a pretty good deal. Everyone needs a good ho ... to plough ... and sow some seeds in.
I think we lost a lot of our humanity when we went from hunter gatherers to farmers, and then some more when we went from farmers to industrial workers, and now a lot more as we go from industrial workers to digital/cyber/virtual/hologram/metaverse/cyborgs whatever the fuck we are becoming now ...
We gained a lot too of course. Everything comes at a price.
Enjoy!
