Dear International Friends

Dear international friends:

Will you please screef away the demand for jobs (duff), and get right to demanding food, clothing, shelter, sanitary infrastructure and time within evolving rich ecologies? Will you please stop scratching your head all to hell trying to insert the ritual initiation of lifelessness and servitude between every human to promote the hoax that we thus "earn" access to the treasure? When people start to demand a level living field and time, they will have recognized the need to demand confident global downsizing of the job system. The exhausted left beats its brains out against the paradox of "deep ecology" or "deep democracy" vs "creating jobs" in an industrial system choking on its own "overproduction." Will "The Left" please officially cross the floor of the house of Great Values, and take up the burden of the clear-eyed utopian well on in the first age for which utopia is not only a perfectly feasible technical-industrial model, but, as some have argued, a technical-democratic necessity.

Why this insistent and very historically recent demand to sell yourself? Have you all accepted the Calvinist premise? Please haul Johnny C. out of his grave to remind yourselves he is dead, and his preachings can now follow him? Will you please stop mouthing the directives of old corpses?

Are you not aware that the Emperor of the job system was declared naked in 1955 and to the watchful the strip-show was cookin' during the 1800s, when the "moralizing of the proletariat" was peaking? That he was getting naked just when "the whole of Europe donned the boiler-suit"?

Rising up to the sky is the modern genii, gestating so long between the inventive human mind and the implicate order of the earth! Discovery augmenting discovery: synergy!

Rising in the accelerating-acceleration curve of technological innovation!

This insistent overall demand for jobs is a demand to continue ravaging the earth. Please move beyond demanding jobs and safety nets to demanding a level living floor, a global citizen's right in this age of accelerating technological evolution, in the solar age, the windpower age, the tidalpower age, in the laser age, the photovoltaic age, the DNA computer age, the fuzzy logic age.

Please pick up the word Freedom again for your sloganeering, and please don't call selling your body and soul and best energy each day "Freedom" or "independence." You are much too smart for that, my dear international friends!

And please screef away the idea of a "social safety net"-- what, basic living is walking a tightrope, or swinging on a trapeze, somewhere dangerously off the earth? Let there be a level living floor on the centuries-deep foundation of the planet's technical-industrial genii, delivered up-history via millions of minds and models.

And please rectify names. Names for social organizations invented and templated in times of scarcity carry the tragedies and denials and fatalism of the old paradigm into the new application-- and the new application is abundance.

Remember Freedom, oh my brothers and sisters, daughters and sons! Not the freedom to be anyone's wage-slave. Freedom of your day, from sunrise to sunset, freedom of your night tonight and tomorrow night, all night long among the stars. Freedom to play over the whole earth, as was the wont of Sophia in Alcheringa. Freedom for your everyday! Freedom to offer your labor to an employer, uncoerced by hunger and need, or to ponder the play of the breeze on the surface of the lake, and the echoes of children's voices.
