More Quotes from Bob Black:
It is now possible to abolish work and replace it, insofar as it serves useful purposes, with a multitude of new kinds of free activities.

At present most work is useless or worse and we should simply get rid of it. On the other hand -- and I think this the crux of the matter and the revolutionary new departure -- we have to take what useful work remains and transform it into a pleasing variety of game-like and craft-like pastimes, indistinguishable from other pleasurable pastimes, except that they happen to yield useful end-products.Bob Black
