The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!

"But how would anything get done?"
Well, a surprising amount of work can get done when you remove managers from the equation.
It drives me crazy that there are people who think us humans are inherently lazy. It's silly to think money is the ONLY thing that incentivizes us to work. We build shit because we want to. Did the native Americans build Tipis and expect to get payed? No! They built another Tipi because they fucking needed another Tipi. Imagine the type of shit we could build in the future if capital wasn't a thing and budget wouldn't be a barrier.
We are lazy! But that's an evolutional advantage to save energy. We don't necessarily need money, but let's not act like the path of least resistance isn't a thing.
I mostly agree with you, but we shouldn't leave anything in our blind spots.
