How about really antifragile generation: you just quit 5/9 job, have a long walk, take a good nap, and ideas come by themselves.
Carmack, with all of his all-work no-rest culture, is hardy antifragile. Or did he change his attitude?
- rbasu 7y agoFrom what I have read, he always advocated 8 hours of rest, without which his productivity decreases, this tweet being a recent one: https://twitter.com/ID_AA_Carmack/status/1232668344307810305 https://twitter.com/ID_AA_Carmack/status/1232668344307810305 As he said in this tweet, even with 8 hours of sleep, there's a lot of time left per week and people like Carmack makes the most out of those remaining hours.
- juskrey 7y agoI think idea of 8 hour sleep can be revolutionary only for someone born in the office cubicle.
- rbasu 7y agoI know a lot of people outside the normal 9-5 job who overwork themselves and takes less than 8 hours of sleep though. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that people just react to stuff and it's easy to come up with short term thought process of "less sleep = more work", instead of working fewer hours one day in order to keep long focussed hours in the long term. Also, some people can't afford 8 hours of sleep, as far as I have seen, unfortunately.
