The Rotational Society Manifesto

A Thesis on Required Occupational Mobility

The Rotational Society Manifesto explores a provocative thought experiment: what if society mandated that every individual rotate through a variety of occupations over their lifetime? From retail and fast food to offices and hospitals, citizens would gain firsthand experience of human labor, responsibility, and social interconnection. This thesis examines the societal, psychological, and ethical implications of such enforced occupational mobility, considering benefits like empathy, adaptability, and innovation, as well as challenges like stress, dissatisfaction, and fairness. By imagining a world where work becomes a shared human experience, the manifesto invites readers to rethink the nature of labor, societal cohesion, and the balance between personal freedom and collective benefit.
