I've lived and worked in a half dozen countries. The guy is just stating that he wants thoughtless drones to work as much as he demands for as little as he can pay them, and also not care about anything other than work. He's using slightly different words. There's nothing about his "worldly experience" that makes his statements unique or insightful.
