Influential zine. Processed World. For a sliver of 20 somethings in the 1980s this was the call to question everything and rebel by "not working", by "not cooperating". (archive.org)

Snip

Processed World magazine was founded in 1981 by a small group of dissidents, mostly in their twenties, who were then working in San Francisco's financial district. The magazine's creators found themselves using their only marketable skill after years of university education: “handling information.” In spite of being employed in offices as “temps,” few really thought of themselves as “office workers.” More common was the hopeful assertion that they were photographers, writers, artists, dancers, historians or philosophers.

Beyond these creative ambitions, the choice to work “temp” was also a refusal to join the rush toward business/yuppie professionalism. Instead of 40-70 hour weeks at thankless corporate career climbing, they sought more free time to pursue their creative instincts. Nevertheless, day after day, they found themselves cramming into public transit en route to the ever-expanding Abusement Park of the financial district. Thus, from the start, the project's expressed purpose was twofold: to serve as a contact point and forum for malcontent office workers (and wage-workers in general) and to provide a creative outlet for people whose talents were blocked by what they were doing for money.

The idea for a new magazine struck one of these people, Chris Carlsson, while he was on vacation in the summer of 1980. The sources of this brainstorm were simultaneously a certain socio-economic layer of late twentieth century U.S. society, a group of friends, and certain obscure artistic and political tendencies comprising both post-New Left, post-situationist libertarian radicalism and the dissident cultural movement whose most public expression was punk and new wave music.

Tldr: fuck "work"

fuck "work"

What if the parasitic few suggest a behavior (domestication of will in submission to others) to tempt the many to think "fuck work"; while ignoring EN'ERGY, noun [Gr. work.] - "internal or inherent power"?

What if your lungs or heart had the choice to proclaim "fuck work"?

abusement

Consent to suggested information; while ignoring perceivable inspiration represents ABUSE (misuse) MENT (mind; memory)...much to the amusement of those making the suggestions (chutzpah).

a) corporation aka corpus oration (whisper of the death); which represents those who use suggested words (fiction) over perceivable sound (reality). Adaptation to perceived sustains life; while ignoring it for suggestions tempts towards death.

b) one needs to work for the sustenance of self; hence in response (choice) to origin (balance); not for the suggested choices by others; which causes imbalance.

In short...work in response to perceivable origin; not for suggested outcomes. The more you do this; the less others can tempt you with suggested outcomes like hope; fear; wealth; stress; conflicts etc.

Nature doesn't show you what comes next; only ever the moment that is aka the momentum (balance) of motion (inception towards death) for the formed (life) response (choice) within.
