I mean, these people say what Marx said - life consists of working at various things to express our full humanity. And the circle concept is pretty much spot on for how it should work.

Except, you know, when you decide you're going to intermediate that circle, interrupt it's flow entirely, alienate billions of people from their work, extract surplus value so that you don't have to work, and force everyone into a death spiral.
