Laziness Does Not Exist by Dr. Devon Price
Dr. Devon Price is a researcher from Chicago. I've long been impressed with pronouns_plur library of work
The general assessment of this work is that laziness stems from protestant values that reinforeced the strength of slavery.
pronouns_is positing that this further empowers the oppressive capitalistic systems that depend on our labor and productivity.
More than a resistance to the exploitive systems, the text includes anecdotes of varying degrees of work ethic running into burnout at the pressures to generate
pronouns_is appealing not only to a revolutionary spirit, but also to our personal connections at surviving late stage capitalism
Dr. Price has produced other works such as Unmasking Autism and an incredible substack page
Personnally, I found this book while I was going through deep therapeutic work to address my anxiety. It paired brilliantly with the work I was following from a professor out of TWU
I often site Dr. Price as someone with a clear and valuable perspective and I appreciate pronouns_plur explorations
What matters is the ability to critically challenge existing systems and paint them in a new light.
