The Book That Took its Title Too Seriously: A Review of Autopilot

There are cases of art in the world where you want to like them but you end up unable to. These are the cases that are perhaps most likely to break your heart, especially when it comes to artwork. It’s when you see a piece and you know what it’s trying to accomplish but it…

What [Post-Work] Will Look Like in the Future

I’m not a fan of Football; I used to be, but I’m not a fan any more. For a whole year in high school I really appreciated the sport and the way it worked. I appreciate the tension, the physicality, the strategy, the character of sports announcers (still do) and the roars of the crowd.…

Green Fascism as another Preacher of Death

Let’s consider the art of coercing people. Often when people want others to do things for them that they know the other person may or may not want to do, they’ll often make it sound as attractive as possible. They’ll make the obligation sound like an opportunity and perhaps most importantly they’ll make this opportunity…

Technology and Idle Creativity are Not Mutually Exclusive

One thing that really aggravates me within anti-work or work-critical scenes is this sort of reflexive distrust of technology and blaming it for our lack of idleness or focus on creative endeavors. Instead of blaming it on the folks who owns the means of production and who start the wars, it’s all the fault of…

Autopilot, by Andrew Smart (Chapters 8 & 9)

After some delays, here it is, the last two chapters of Autopilot. And gosh if they aren’t disappointing. Let’s start from the top. Chapter 8: Six Stigma as Seizure I don’t even have any notes on this chapter besides, “Still not really on topic and the analogy is largely vacuous and suspect in general.” but…

Charlottesville

I was going to write about Autopilot and finish my chapter by chapter review of it, but it seems irresponsible now. Now that protesters have not only been injured but killed by white supremacists. A full-on hateful mob with tiki torches and Nazis salutes at night and mowing down counter-protesters during the day. The paradox…

Friedrich Nietzsche on Wage Slavery

Doreen’s Notes: This is the third (see here and here) time we’ve heard from Nietzsche on the site. I found this gem while going through Walter Kaufmann’s wonderful The Portable Nietzsche which I am still reading. Citing this doesn’t necessarily mean I agree with all of it, but it’s certainly an anti-work/work-critical quote I enjoy.…

Organic Batteries, by Winter Trabex

By now, over eighteen years since its release in movie theaters, everyone has either seen or heard of a film called The Matrix. The story of The Matrix follows a hacker named Thomas Anderson as he grapples with a meaningless 9 to 5 job, his own illegal activity, and his feeling that something is wrong…

Why Don’t We Care about Care Work?

I remember when I used to live in a house where I was with a romantic partner in their mother’s house. The mother was in a wheelchair some of the time and was maybe in her 50s or 60s, I can’t remember. She never needed much assistance past help with the dishes, trash, her cats,…

Notice of Name and Gender Change

I’m officially going by Doreen/Dory, either is applicable. I consider myself non-binary but still like she/her for the best approximate pronouns. If this ever changes I’ll be sure to update that to the site. Happy slacking, y’all!
