I didn't say that, I just disagree with assuming this must be the last experiment. We don't know how much time and resources they have to burn. The fact they could already do it for decades is well beyond anything we would be used to.

Obligations aren't the only determinate of freedom. What I'm saying is, we haven't yet been pressured to sacrifice our own needs for the sake of others. Instead we've been given a stage in which we can fully choose without obligation how much of our effort we wish to give to the other people. Even the reduced restocking has been mostly offset with each new district.

If there's a value metric outside our capacity to survive each test and the time in between, it's the degree people will choose cooperation of their own accord.
