@Gnomibis thank you for this thread and links

The Museum of Care (museum.care) is partnering with esteemed anthropologist Keith Hart (credited with coining the terms "informal economy" and the "human economy") to create a new series titled Conversation of Care. We are casting a wide net in search of folks who are interested in being on the steering committee. Please reach out to me at the following email address, [email protected], if you are interested in helping.
"We must 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…. 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.”
---Buckminster Fuller, 1970
