Free time is not the opposite of labor but its shadowy continuation.

Evidence

Free time then does not merely stand in opposition to labour. In a system where full employment itself has become the ideal, free time is nothing more than a shadowy continuation of labour. — Theodor W. Adorno, The Culture Industry, 266

Categorization

• DEFINE: Core definition of ‘administered free time’ — the key analytical tool the reader wants to deploy.
• DEEPTHINKING: This is the crux of the administered-free-time thesis the reader specifically wants to run on post-Adorno culture.
• ADDENDUM: The ‘free time as continuation of labor’ thesis is the closest analogue to how trees-as-infrastructure treats leisure/nature as administered.
