Happiness is the unobsessive life of the hobbyist who doesn’t have to work for a living.

Lawler claims that this is Marx’s ultimate vision, and not surprisingly Lawler says that it has some merit, although he thinks that in the end it fails as a philosophy. The post is mostly about a claim by Lawler that not having children undermines serenity. But Lawler should do more to flesh out his ideas.
