Mad Woodsmans Manifesto: Article III: Unloved work is the great, unacknowledged problem of the Industrial Age. The entrapment of most people (even the relatively affluent) in lives of labor they do not and cannot love is an essential component in the pervasive atmosphere of apathy and defeatism which nurtures the passivity requisite to maintain our collective willingness to tolerate false and needless wars, environmental degradation, and the steady erosion of basic civil rights. What, in a village or on a small farm, would have once been called a “work ethic” has devolved into an ethic of drudgery. This process has been reflected and supported by a parallel devolution of education into vocational training.
