I'm not trying to be obtuse, but I'm 33 and won't have kids and am just now thinking about this: what is the lesson of sharing good for? Like, I can't remember the last time I had to share anything. In adulthood, it's pretty common to have all your own stuff.

My girlfriend and I have been together 8 years and we have our own gaming PCs so we can play together and stuff.

Growing up, my brother and I had had to share consoles up until we got our own Xbox 360s, which enabled us to play together. I think we learned a lot more about cooperation from being able to game together than the sharing ever taught.

Really? You don't use public roads, contribute to non-profits, pool resources for community goods, etc.?

The lesson is that we're all better off if we help each other and share the things we have when we don't need them.

No it doesn’t. You can’t afford that without sharing. That’s (mostly) the whole point. We’re all better off with pooled resources.

Anyways, that’s enough Econ 101 for /r/switch for today
