Sometimes I feel like someone else is paying for my 40-60 hour work week. A bunch of people far poorer than myself are working 80-120 hours to mine rare Earths, assemble electronics, stitch clothes, dig coal, and so on, so that I can live in relative-to-them luxury. Not only do I work only 40-60 hours a week but it's indoors, in air conditioning, doing work that is largely interesting and not very dangerous. I even have time to punctuate it by posting shit like this. The four hour work week is bullshit but it's just the snake oil we all consume distilled to greater purity. I'm sipping wine while Ferriss is selling 150 proof fire water. You enter the global upper middle class already primed for a shot at being part of the global rich by simply being born in the developed world. https://money.cnn.com/interactive/news/economy/davos/global-wage-calculator/index.html https://money.cnn.com/interactive/news/economy/davos/global-...
