"The relations...constitute the essence."
--Nietzsche

Jack Saturday's been trendspotting from his studio's "inner window." Instead of taking a camera to the streets, he has taken his audio fishing gear out on the deep seas of the World Wide Web.

The great depth psychologist C.G. Jung wrote that one difference between us and other animals is that we go round in circles just as they do (in their grazing/foraging patterns for instance), but, if we pay careful attention, we return in our circlings at a slightly higher level than last time around. We evolve in a spiral rather than a circle which does not evolve.
The original World Owes You A Living suite completes the large circle round the great hidden dragon of the work ethic and the job system.

Happiness and The Great Work take up from that initial circumambulation, delving deeper into some of the thousand fields that have woven the wool over our eyes-- bringing in the clarity and power of John Taylor Gatto's clear shocking picture of public schooling in the west, Michael Parenti's passionate words on nuclear worker abuse and other matters, Peter Breggin's extraordinary expose of American Psychiatry, Susan Sontag, with cancer, despairing of youth the year before 9/11, Sharon Yandle's surprising illumination regarding what poor women need, and much else-- with flashbacks to the past and the revelation of uncommon corners of the present-- a documentary of cumulative reciprocal segues, a drama taking the listener from laughter to sorrow to rage to amazing hope.

"Happiness" and "The Great Work", though they play off each other as a duo, each stand as independent works. You don't need to have heard The World Owes You A Living suite. You only need to long for freedom from your lousy job-- or, if you have freedom, to long for a better world, one eminently waiting for one thing- enough of us to demand it.
