This would work. I don't understand why people shrug away these types of ideas. EDIT: This was an ironic statement meant to reference Atlas Shrugged. I'm sure most people caught it, but its definitely interesting to see how primed up people are to voice an opinion. Its a good thing, if you take your time to understand what the other person has said. I believe is this a great representation of what is currently happening on both the left and right. People go straight for their opinions and demonize others without taking the brief moment to listen and think.

> All workers, wage earners and employees of any kind whatsoever shall henceforth be attached to their jobs and shall not leave nor be dismissed nor change employment, under penalty of a term in jail. So if you're a doctor but actually discover one day you'd much rather be a musician and actually you eventually hate being a doctor, you just have to suck it up? Sounds like Point Four needs to be extended far beyond "no new devices, inventions, products, or goods of any nature whatsoever" to include "no new ideas, thoughts, emotions, or any cognitive state of any nature whatsoever" to get the kind of static state they're seeking.

  Also, how do you operate the world's largest prisons without hiring additional wardens and guards? So if you're a doctor but actually discover one day you'd much rather be a musician and actually you eventually hate being a doctor, but you do not suck it up, be a musician, and you may need to learn to keep yourself in prison. I started with wardens, but the whole ecosystem would cause a chain reaction that would just cause extreme disorder. I keep thinking and more ridiculous scenarios pop-up in my mind but I don't want to ruin the potentially fun game of finding them for everyone else.

I think you tried to make a pun but people took you literally.

  Pretty much. Thought people would catch the "shrug" as a reference to the novel.
