BGB a écrit :
people need to live their lives, and to do this, they need a job and money (and a house, car, ...).
As individuals, in our current society, yes. We can strive for other solutions, however. A analogy with computing would be to say people need an http//html browser to search the Internet. Yes they do, but if we had chosen different standard (and the STEPS project here hinted at simpler and superior alternatives), then http//html would be ludicrous. I don't want to argue about the specifics of jobs, money, and society. Just pointing out that it can be useful to tell instrumental goals from fundamental ones. Get a job? Instrumental to get money, except if you enjoy it. Get money? Instrumental to represent the amount of wealth you "should" control. Having fun? This is one of the fundamental ones. Once a goal is identified as instrumental, giving it up becomes thinkable. It may still be a bad idea, but at least you expand your solution space.
