Who Owns Work

"Our culture tends to conceptualize human activity not concerned with industriousness, work or what was back in my youth so popularly termed economic "reality," as distraction, diversion, pastime, entertainment, dream, hobby, amusement, party or game. That which can not be seen as a brick in the ongoing construction of infrastructure is the ethereal, pointless dust of fantasy." - exquixotic

 

‎"I think that there is far too much work done in the world, that immense harm is caused by the belief that work is virtuous, and that what needs to be preached in modern industrial countries is quite different from what always has been preached ..."

"... the road to happiness and prosperity lies in the organised diminuation of work."

-... In Praise of Idleness, Bertrand Russell
