Why do you need to be rewarded for working? If the money tap is switched off tomorrow and everyone stops working what's going to happen? If you and everyone else decides not to go to work, food and clean water will run out within hours. Nothing else will matter. Would you bother then? Knowing that the work I do is required is enough of a reward for me. If everyone has the attitude where a job can just be half-arsed, then you end up with a 3rd rate country that'll collapse given a bit of a shake, which would kinda defeat the purpose of having a free local economy. Perhaps some incentive will be needed (travel perhaps), but I would have thought having a free society that ticks along Swiss style, heh, and can innovate and develop out with financial constraints would be incentive enough to do as good of a job as you possibly can... after all, no man is an island and we ALL rely on someone else... even those who believe that they are entrepreneurs and that they have gotten themselves to where they are. They have relied on their staff, friends, mentors and customers etc... to think any other way is all but delusional. As mentioned, these sorts of things will need to be addressed by those who draft up any proposal for such a society.
A very interesting article. But without reward for the work or effort being put in, and knowing that you will get everything you need for free, why bother? Why would I bother going to work and putting in an effort? And even if I did go to work, why would I do anything more than a half arsed job, knowing that I'm going to get everything provided for me just like the guy working next to me slaving his arse off.
I, unfortunately in ways, give a shit for a future that isn't going to be mine. It would seem that the prevailing attitude is the opposite with denial being the ignorant excuse... hey ho, each to their own. I hope that someday everyone in the country starts to understand the message that I'm trying to convey and then perhaps the future will look a little brighter for this country if nowhere else. As for being the president of the universe, I don't want it, someone else can have that trapping.
Reckon you should apply for job as president of the universe :-)

Nice bike dude. Where you get your screen from? As i'm looking at getting one.
Nicely written! A bit of insight always helps us understand how tough it is to race effectively.

Haha, because then I don't need to ask others for a hand to oil my chain after only covering 360km (which isn't even 1 tank by the way). Arse is getting accustomed to riding again, so the Capital Cruise weekend of same km in less time, no issues. Nice comfy bike aye?
