VI
“
The search for joy is therefore an act of will, a firm refusal of the fixed conditions of capital and its values. The first of these refusals is that of work as a value. The search for joy can only come about through the search for play.
— Alfredo M. Bonanno

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "The search for joy is therefore an act of will, a firm refusal of the fixed conditions of capital and its values. The first of these refusals is that of work as a value. The search for joy can only come about through the search for play." in the context of "VI" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
