“We should do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognising this nonsense of earning a living.
We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because according to Malthusian Darwinian theory he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors to inspect inspectors.
The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it is they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.” – Buckminster Fuller
Richard Buckminster Fuller was an American architect, systems theorist, author, designer, inventor, philosopher, critic of work, and futurist. He styled his name as R. Buckminster Fuller in his writings, publishing more than 30 books and coining or popularizing such terms as “Spaceship Earth”, “Dymaxion”, “ephemeralization”, “synergetics”, and “tensegrity”.
