    Time is a social construct. People living under capitalist regimes are sensitive about having their time wasted because they need to sell their time in order to survive.

      Idk I feel like time is also valuable when you starve to death if you don’t go hunting and gathering often enough…

        You gather when you’re hungry. Hunger is as good a measure as time.

      Everyone sells or trades their time in one way or another. Better to sell time for money and the freedom to spend it than sell it to a state for the bare minimum a human needs to survive.
