“The most radical thing to do would be to stop. To collectively stop toiling and consuming, and just rest. We need a good Animal Rest. This is rest in abundance and completely free from anxiety. It can not be achieved on an individual level, it is not a private matter of self-help, wellness, and mindfulness – that’s toiling too. It is the rest that the “beast-like pain”, inherent in all work demands! It’s a collective, radical rest.”—RWO.
