I have always said it, I will continue to say it, we are limiting the productive potential of millions of freaks by demanding they earn a wage to survive instead of enabling them to do whatever thing their brain is broken for

not just in art, either, there are guys who would go around obsessively fixing every clogged pipe in a 10-mile radius if they had the free time and social infrastructure to do so

@cliff_spab the key is remembering that money, and things like capitalism are a shared fiction; just a way of organising what labor gets done and who gets to benefit from that labor. we can just rewrite that fiction

@cliff_spab I have relatives who would tune up your car and weed your garden for free because they just like to do that stuff.

@cliff_spab People ask me what happens in Anarchism, how do you get medicine, food, clothing, etc. As if there are not people deeply passionate and knowledgeable about these things.

It's not some magic 'hope it all works out for the best', it would require active work and figuring shit out. But ultimately, people want to help people, and even if you want to argue the self-interest shit, it's in your self interest to join in the community around you.

It's all inertia.

I-I wouldn't do that.

@cliff_spab

If I had regular food, shelter, beer money, and health care guaranteed, I would:
Build and customize musical instruments for people, and get them started playing them.
Teach people how to build and secure networks.
Grow food and give it away.

@cliff_spab i like to unknot cables, ropes, etc and i can clearly imagine to be in world where it would be an asset like:
- hey i come from the community of the valley, you ask for....
- oh great, the unknoter! Follow me, ah so great you're here. You see, we are building [ whatever a community based on true cooperation could build] and we need ropes but thoses with have, are completely fucked with knots.
Look at this piece of crap!

-oh, i see, hello beauty!

@cliff_spab yes, absolutely! We'd have an amazing amount of high-quality open source software. And so many other things.

@cliff_spab lots of people would like to do a little bit of something that isn't their main thing, too. If anyone could volunteer to have a few hours with the pressure washer from time to time everything would be so clean. Most things that get grim if you do them all day are pretty fun for a few random hours a month
