Set the Masses Free

Set the Masses Free. The mark of a society’s success is not the employment of it population to do mundane and useless work, but the freedom to pursue leisure. To sit in the park and read the philosophy and feed the birds. Eradicate work and set the people free. We pay people for making useless things like watering cans made of plastic, a work any robot could do. For this we continue to produce and deplete the world´s natural resources, for if we do not consume the world will come to a standstill, or so we are made to believe. However, those who produce our sustenance the poor farmers in India, Africa and elsewhere and regarded as the lowest of the low, are the true friends of our planet.
