I saved this at the time when Ran Prieur begins talking about the development of the Protestant Work Ethic.  The reason I am posting this here is his reference to Ivan Illich's statements about how, in some places in the world, the term "hard worker" actually means something more like "fool."

"Oh no!", cries the once ever-so-happy well-fed and well-disciplined "associate" or "employee" (we don't use the more appropriate terms DEBT-SLAVE), "Nothing that is so, is so!"

more exactly, the point about "hard worker:"  [possible victim of gort-mentality?]

"We are in a … [gargantuan] prison:"  https://youtu.be/tqFtLZjBkb8?t=1714  (28:43)

(and cities are giant concentration camps)

"Even the blocks of time that are supposedly for 'fun' ENABLE the Prison."

Organized Sports, the Film Industry, the entire Music Industry enable the Prison.
