"...we must free people from having to earn the right to exist"

"tech will help, but it will take more than that—it will take a release of the belief that a human’s worth is tied to work"

I've been banging on this drum since the 1990s when I started writing about being a conscientious objector to the Puritan work ethic. 

Most recently I wrote about it in my former Substack newsletter The Anticareerist. Maybe I'll have a chance to revive it someday.

Love to see it discussed this way on FC.

so here for this movement!

I remember when you were contemplating that! I think that’s actually right around the time I got here. probably why I was so excited!

I have been waxing poetic about these topics since my middle school days! I think this is the perfect place to birth a revolution. 🫶

I actually had a dream about you last night. I rarely ever dream of people I “know” so this felt significant. 

I also just realized I use a *lot* of exclamation points 👀🤣

Me, too. For most of my time here (almost 2 years), I've never had the sense that FC would be the right place to tackle these topics in depth. 

As recently as a few months ago I considered starting a new channel to revive my project The Anticareerist, and I decided against it.

But it's so refreshing to see these convos happening here. Looking forward to more.
