"We must do away with the absolutely specious notion
that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten
thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all
the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense
of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that
everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to
Malthusian-Darwinian theory, he must justify his right to exist. So we have
inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to
inspect inspectors. The true business
of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they
were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a
living."

Fuller
