I'll tell this to the cleaning lady who works for a living 12 hours a day. Her 12-hour schedule is the only thing holding her back from truly fulfilling her dreams. I'll tell her 4 or 5 hours is really all she needs to do. When her hungry children come begging for food and her landlord comes asking for the rent, she can tell them that she's just maximizing her productivity and her leisure time, and that they should do the same if they want to live a truly productive and meaningful life.
- partisan 5y agoI take your point and agree that OP is writing from a place of privilege. His post is addressed to knowledge workers and people who could theoretically afford this type of existence. I'm sure just as Darwin was leisurely walking around, there were people working 12 hour days to ensure that he could do so.
- meiraleal 5y agoRight so your solution for the cleaning lady is for her to work 24 hours? Or double the hour rate? If the second, many of them would choose to work 8 or less hours to improve life quality.
