Book cover for Debt: The First 5,000 Years
Actually, the remarkable thing about the statement “one has to pay one’s debts” is that even according to standard economic theory, it isn’t true. A lender is supposed to accept a certain degree of risk.

The enormous interest rate on credit card debt is to cover default risk, because it's unsecured debt. So discharging it in bankruptcy should be pretty much pro forma.

Woody Allen

Bob Black
“Among themselves they quibble over the details. Unions and management agree that we ought to sell the time of our lives in exchange for survival, although they haggle over the price. Marxists think we should be bossed by bureaucrats. Libertarians think we should be bossed by businessmen. Feminists don't care which form bossing takes so long as the bosses are women. Clearly these ideology-mongers have serious differences over how to divvy up the spoils of power. Just as clearly, none of them have any objection to power as such and all of them want to keep us working.”
Bob Black, The Abolition of Work

David Hume
“But the life of a man is of no greater importance to the universe than that of an oyster.”
David Hume, On Suicide

“Just because you can read, write and do a little math, doesn't mean that you're entitled to conquer the universe.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Hocus Pocus

David Graeber
“We have become a civilization based on work—not even “productive work” but work as an end and meaning in itself.”
David Graeber, Bullshit Jobs: A Theory
