Responsibility on the Part of the Team

The inherent motivation of the team must be intrinsic, skin in the game, earn your own pay. THAT by definition not an Employee, but a Director in the loose sense of the word.

What about mundane tasks, shit that just needs to get done? For that, there are many Independent Contractors who can be found in an open market - and otherwise for menial, degrading, or dangerous tasks: question why we are engaging in menial, degrading, or dangerous tasks. Either get rid of those tasks or automate them away, and maintain dignity for humans.

I have strong opinions regarding making people powerful, independent - and above all - RESPONSIBLE - as opposed to continuing those peoples' existence as children taken care of by their Mother or Father - the Employer. And the Employers' Mother and Father - The State.

Responsibility means Becoming an Adult. Taking responsibility for one's life.

Our economic life promotes infantile behavior: people working for others, instead of working for their own Autonomy, Mastery, and Purpose - are a continuation of slavery.

Maintainers of the status quo like to talk about 'creating jobs and taxes.' The discussion should reframe to creating Meaning: Autonomy, Mastery, and Purpose.

I question: why the notion of 'employment' at all? It it an artifact of industrialization. Using available technology, it is theoretically possible to produce a modern standard of living with little effort - in a productive lifestyle, not a consumer lifestyle. One of the goals of OSE is to create a society based on the Ultimate Producers

Quantified? It means the 7 Day Weekend. Or more practically, a 2 hour work day for meeting basic needs - rest is Pursuit of Autonomy, Mastery, and Purpose. Simple.

So this is why I have a problem with Employees.

Collaborators, not employees, work out of their will, not because they are getting paid.

Collaborators have a deep desire to make a better world - to evolve to freedom.

The above non-employer approach also reduces payments for Federal Reserve loans.
