what a beautiful framing of what the sabbath (day of rest) rules are meant to prevent/create:
"a giant, neutral non-compete clause. a solution to the problem of collective action. if i run a store and everyone else is gonna keep their store open, it's hard to shut my store down. but if everyone's shutting their store down, then I can do the same..."
"Rest is usually defined as something you're not doing. Instead, we should see it as a state we're achieving"
Six days a week we seek to dominate the world, on the seventh day we try to dominate the self.
-Abraham Heschel
The solution of mankind’s most vexing problem will not be found in renouncing technical civilization, but in attaining some degree of independence of it.
― Abraham Joshua Heschel, The Sabbath
