Okay final part in my series on the demonization of play and the exaltation of work, thank you so much for listening and learning. Also, you do not have to memorize, understand, or accept this immediately. Capitalism has taught you that your worth is tied to your work and that you are a tool and that is fundamentally incorrect, it is a lie.

Well it’s looking like another two parter! This week on Schauer Thoughts: the demonization, moralization, and general uncertainty around play and pleasure. So let’s slip into our skin suits and crank up the heat, we’ve got a lot of internalized beliefs about work to scrub raw from our left and right hemispheres, might have to even get in the crack.Sources:Rest is Resistance - Tricia HerseyDecolonizing Therapy - Jennifer Mullan PsyDMathematics for Human Flourishing - Francis SuI believe the eyeliner joke is from Cat Cohen (cat_cohen on TT) - if I’m wrong please let me know. If there are any sources I’ve left out, please feel free to let me know in the Youtube comments, I’ll get to you ASAP.Follow Sarah: @SarahSchauerTo watch the podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@sarahschauer3764 Learn more about your ad choices.
