@nikadubrovsky talks about care and freedom during our first Seminars of Care in November!
david was always working on refining concept and polishing meanings.. our society is governed by the values of production and consumption which david wanted to replace with care and freedom

from david on care and freedom [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN9S0HD8VH8]:
39 min – most work consists of taking care of other people.. so what i think we need to do is start over:
1\ re define working classes (not as producers but) as caring classes..
2\ move away from paradigm of production/consumption as what the economy is about
41 min – what we do as human beings is we take care of each other.. but care.. which is something we don’t often recognize.. is closely related to the notion of freedom.
the paradigm for caring relations is a mother and a child.. mother takes care of child so that child can grow.. be healthy.. flourish.. but at the immediate level.. you take care of a child so the child can go and play.. that’s what children actually do when you take care of them
42 min – what is play.. play is action done for its own sake.. it’s in a way the very paradigm of freedom.. because action done for its own sake is what freedom really consists of .. play and freedom are ultimately the same thing.
43 min – to do that we need to scrap almost all of the discipline of econ as it currently exists..
graeber make it diff law .. graeber rethink law.. et al
