We didn’t invent it. Prometheus stole it from the gods. Literally the first form of piracy ever.
I thought Ron Perlman found it then the village dumbass dropped it in the crick
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.
That took me for a loop as well too and teenage me was very impressed
Can I find it on 1337x.to, or some other site?
You wouldn’t download fire would you
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.
Fuck that guy, someone should have kicked him straight in the nuts stole it and patented it. Freeze to death or pay
Zues did my man dirty and was a bitch for it
Oh God, the number of comments taking this post as a literal question is too high. I can’t tell if they’re serious or not.
I guess I’ll do my best too explain. Often pro-capitalist individuals will use the argument that without capitalism nothing would get done and/or invented. The point of this post is that things did get done and invented without capitalism. Thus invalidating this particular capitalist argument.
They could trade the secret for… already communal resources?
But then who gets screwed in the transaction?
Getting screwed IS the transaction!
Freezing to death is a pretty big motivator.
The beatings will continue until innovation improves…
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.
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.
Your motivation is the same as theirs, not freezing to death
Thunder hit a tree, tree warm. Fun.
Tree lost a branch, branch also warm, nice.
Warm passes over to other trees, nice.

Fun.

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.
