The Day the Earth Stood Still

from Common Good · host Our House

I’ve been looking for that one idea. The one that solves the puzzle of this crazy world.This is it. It’s so simple. It incorporates the people’s trust, the new pbs, the free world directory, the world party-family reunion—they all happen naturally when we collectively stop working. Here’s the written invitation—* Everybody stops working, the world over.* We distribute our collective coins evenly, so we’re all rich. Each of us has a big pile of tokens to play with. * We do what we feel like doing. * That’s it. Remember—→ No one wants to work. We all want to do what we feel like doing. That may look like what we do for work, but now we do it for fun.→ There’s no authority outside of us. No boss, parent, or god in the sky, making us work. So we all stop. In the immortal words of Alice Cooper: Schoooool’s out for evahhh !Here’s a video on how the collapse has already occurred, inviting you to create an account for your post-work dream life. Write it out and send it to me. I’ll put your name and a link to your GoFundMe, GoSendGo, etc in our directory. Get full access to Dr Meghan Roekle at megroekle.substack.com/subscribe
