«If
humans are not required to earn a living to be provided survival needs,
many are going to want to be productive, but not at those tasks they
did not choose to do but were forced to accept in order to earn money.
Instead, humans will spontaneously take upon themselves those tasks that
world society really needs to have done».

Silly Walk march in Brno, Czech Republic (2014), inspired by the Ministry of Silly Walks by Monty Python
"Playfulness is what makes us human. Doing pointless, purposeless things,
just for fun. Doing things for the sheer devilment of it. Being silly
for the sake of being silly. Larking around. Taking pleasure in
activities that do not advantage us and have nothing to do with our
survival. These are the highest signs of intelligence. It is when a
creature, having met and surmounted all the practical needs that face
him, decides to dance that we know we are in the presence of a human. It
is when a creature, having successfully performed all necessary
functions, starts to play the fool, just for the hell of it, that we
know he is not a robot."
