Antiwork is a terrible name that just throws people off. Why not self-work? It's the work you give yourself. I get the gist of the article: it's not Work vs Leisure, it's Their Work vs Your Own Work, with Leisure on the side.
Antiwork makes it sound like it's the opposite of work. It's not the opposite of work; it's the opposite of pointless work. If anything needs a new nickname, it's the pointless work. Pseudo-work. And if we're going to be morally superior about one or the other, I think the author makes a good case for celebrating selfwork, not pseudowork. (I don't know who celebrates leisure, it's usually the butt of a joke)
- czottmann 12y agoI wholeheartedly agree. This point irked me the entire time as the author did not condemn work itself. I wish there was a way to upvote your comment more than once!
