They must participate in capitalism or trade and other activities that help survival. I don't think it just switches to doing favors.

its not like capitalism forces the hand of a gay person any moreso than a straight person , I dont see why the extra time on hand of a gay person could not be devoted towards aiding children in the family for example babysitting or financing extracurricular activities , a gay person elsewhere in this thread concluded as such

I'm thinking from the shoes of Sam Altman. "I'm gay, I'd rather become rich and famous and build OpenAI then babysit my nephew"

I'm saying capitalism forces our hand to the maximum extent such that it eats away all time involving free favors to other people. The ladder is unlimited in height.

So if I have 8 hours or 16 hours available for productive work it doesn't matter, I'm going to allocate all of it to capitalism because that's a never ending hole.

what can i say man that may be the case now adays but we did not evolve under capitalism
