This is overly cynical post by otherwise great comments from you, PragmaticPulp. I personally find working harder is the only way I can survive. Being unproductive is depressing because it brings lackluster mediocre life/rewards with it. With life that is less rewarding and dull, my mental health suffers. Spiraling downwards. It has happened twice. On the other hand, I never get burned out no matter hours or effort. Building stuff is too much fun. Building stuff with super cool people is even more fun. Early Googler's were the happiest bunch when it was in a startup stage. So, I can relate with the author more than your cynical take on this.
