The war against the machine is long lost.
It’s humiliating to engage, yet terrifying to withdraw.
A shift in how we define and perceive work is imminent.
Transforming labor — our labor — into skilled labor, into labor of emotion, is crucial.
Putting more heart and humor into what we do might be the only realistic option left.
The machine doesn’t have that — not yet, anyway.
Goals to seek in this process:
- Avoid becoming a replaceable cog in the system.
- Avoid becoming the sole defect in a system designed to function perfectly without us.
- Never run a race that isn’t ours.
