'“Work” must lose its centrality in the minds, thoughts, and imaginations of everyone. We must learn to see it differently: no longer as something we have—or do not have—but as what we do.'
~ André Gorz cited by @aworkinglibrary there: https://aworkinglibrary.com/writing/exit-strategy'The assertion that slop-makers will replace most jobs is a pathetic attempt at resurrection: only work that has been demeaned into the grave could be supplanted by such boring and obsequious ghosts. The real work has always been elsewhere. Perhaps it’s time we follow where it takes us and leave the dead to their tombs.'

« Le "travail" doit perdre sa place centrale dans l'esprit, les pensées et l'imaginaire de chacun. Nous devons apprendre à le voir différemment : non plus comme quelque chose que nous avons – ou que nous n'avons pas –, mais comme ce que nous faisons. »
~ André Gorz, cité par @aworkinglibrary là : https://aworkinglibrary.com/writing/exit-strategy« L'affirmation selon laquelle les fabricants de bouillie [d'IA] remplaceront la plupart des emplois est une tentative pathétique de résurrection : seul le travail qui a été rabaissé jusqu'à la tombe pourrait être supplanté par des fantômes aussi ennuyeux et obséquieux. Le vrai travail a toujours été ailleurs. Il est peut-être temps de suivre où il nous mène et de laisser les morts dans leurs tombes. »

#Screens "train us in convenience, which is training in predictability, in the facade of certainty. And when that facade inevitably breaks, we often find ourselves at sea.
"In the brilliant and ever-relevant Seeing Like a State, James C. Scott outlines the many ways states fail; principle among them is an obsession with putting things in order, with simplification and efficiency. More often than not, that efficiency translates into brittleness and weakness, into systems so fragile they break the moment something unanticipated arises."

#MandyBrown: "What’s important is that it shifts expectations: […] the desired outcome is a more level playing field—level enough that true #negotiation can take place."
