• Contemplating “Good, Clean, Honest Labor”

  Okay final part in my series on the demonization of play and the exaltation of work, thank you so much for listening and learning. Also, you do not have to memorize, understand, or accept this immediately. Capitalism has taught you that your worth is tied to your work and that you are a tool and that is fundamentally incorrect, it is a lie.
