The Most Radical Vision and the Most Reasonable Means

Let’s get the idea out there: end senseless work, free billions of human beings, and do it by simply refusing to cooperate with exploitation.

I say we should call our position simply sanity. We seek sanity, which is a rational response to the crises we face, and our daily experience as human beings.

We are all part of the inescapable human condition. We are also victims — often passive victims — of a terrible unnecessary system of abuse. We must accept the former and end the latter.

Thinking Beyond Boundaries

We have intertwined challenges, two terrible situations that require immediate attention. As it turns out, fixing one goes a long way to fixing the other.

The problems are:

1. Humans, with limited lifespans, waste most of their short precious lives in servitude, and
2. Modern civilization is destroying itself and the biosphere with fossil fuels and other planetary abuse.

When we examine the problem as a real physical challenge in the world (what people do and what Nature requires of them) instead of abstract concepts based on human decisions (the economy, profits), we can see things differently and new options appear.
