My quest here is for a system that recognizes and supports intrinsic reward. Recognizes it by providing the conditions for playful interaction, supports it by providing a reasonable salary for the fruits of those interactions.
Far too few of us are actually getting paid to play. Far too many of us are getting rewarded for joyless, self- and other-destructive “work”.
Where are there systems of reward that are effective in recognizing and supporting the productive power of play? What systems reach beyond the fortunate few to create a generalized state of affirmation of personal happiness?
If we can find no precedent, may we be able to create our own.
