The manifesto
The religion of Industry have turned human beings into robots
The imposition of work-discipline on free-wheeling dreamers enslaves us all
Joy and wisdom have been replaced by work and worry
We must defend our right to be lazy
It is in our idleness that we become who we are; it is when lazy that we achive self-mastery
Jobs rob our time
Productivity and Progress have led to anxiety and unease
Technology imprisons as it promises to liberate
Careers are phantasms
Money is mind-forg'd
We can create our own paradise
With freedom comes responsibility
Nothing must be done
Be good to yourself
Stay in bed
Inaction is the wellspring of creation
Art, people, life
Bread, bacon, beer
Live first, work later
Time is not money
Stop spending
Quit your job
Study the art of living
Live slow, die old
Embrace nothing
Know nothing
Be nothing
Be idle!
