   • We had one of these ages ago, seems to be long gone by now, but I was thinking, in addition to the purchases, recently watched and now playing threads, we should have a recurring thread for some of the awesome sites people find. I'd like to start the thread with this essay about the abolition of work.

     Good read that. Think I agree with most of it.

   • I really enjoyed it too. Another interesting essay/faq is this one on the meaning of life though be warned, it is pretty hefty

   • That first article, though totally drool-worthy, was actually absolute bollocks. EVERYONE's going to sit on their arse and do nothing? What a retarded way to starve to death.

     did you read it? only your argument falls apart when you hit the 4th sentence in.

   • Like I say it is hefty. It's also quite hard to get your head round. I was talking to someone the other day about this and their response was "how do you pay the bills if you don't work?". I don't think they got the point.

   • Yeah, some people have difficulty uncoupling themselves from the concept of capitalism. They don't realise its not a naturally occuring phenomenon.
