I could be reading too much into it, but I thought that was literally the author's central point.
> Hyper-rational individuals making hyper-rational decisions on how to spend their time by launching into an inescapable arms race of productivity. Burnout is inevitable.
- ZephyrBlu 6y agoI read the central point of the piece as, "I must be super productive so that I can maximize my wealth" rather than, "I must be super productive to just to remain competitive". To me it seems like the author assumes people are optimizing because they're driven to squeeze every drop of value out of their time, rather than just trying to remain competitive in the market.
