    It’s not wrong that our basic needs are exploited by others, but it is wrong to say that we’re the only species who pays to exist. All life must “pay” by expending energy to find food and shelter. We’ve just developed a system where we earn imaginary currency to buy things instead of having to go out and do all the work necessary to stay alive ourselves.
