This (beautifully written idea) may be the point, to me. I Don’t like to work. I Like free time. But i know more than enough people who are just unable to stay still with themselves. Could it be that society (by emergent behaviour) has actually turned up like this (with basically mandatory work and no free time) to cope with this necessity of most people to not be still? Russel dismisses the possibility of this being the case, but it doesn’t feel completely far fetched to me. In that case, it’s bad news for the ones who’d work less, because the ones willing to work more will always have more power- and they’re usually not afraid to use it…
