労働こそ人生で最大の娯楽
ついでに元の論考も英語で読んでみた。
No one should ever work. / Work is the source of nearly all the misery in the world. Almost any evil you’d care to name comes from working or from living in a world designed for work. In order to stop suffering, we have to stop working. / That doesn’t mean we have to stop doing things. It does mean creating a new way of life based on play; in other words, a ludic revolution. By “play” I mean also festivity, creativity, conviviality, commensality, and maybe even art. There is more to play than child’s play, as worthy as that is. I call for a collective adventure in generalized joy and freely interdependent exuberance. Play isn’t passive. Doubtless we all need a lot more time for sheer sloth and slack than we ever enjoy now, regardless of income or occupation, but once recovered from employment-induced exhaustion nearly all of us want to act. The Abolition of Work / Bob Black https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/bob-black-the-abolition-of-work 労働廃絶論という名前なのだけど、ludic revolutionという発想のほうがおもしろい。だって労働は悪だろw
大事なのはすべてが遊びになっていかないとダメだという、こっちのほうが「労働をなくせ」よりも実は根幹のインサイトだと思う。
仕事はなぜ飽きないかというと、実はこれが遊びだからで、遊びはなぜ飽きるかというとBob Black的に言えばこれが強制されたもの＝労働だからですよ。 あと「遊ぶ才能」ってあって。多くの人はそれがない。だから「労働を全人類からなくすべきだ！遊び革命だ！」って言ってるボブ・ブラックのほうがなんかマッチョなおっさんに見えてきてしまうんよな。
