tbh i don't think this feature is outdated. it's just your body telling you that doing someone else's bidding intensely and unendingly isn't healthy. it's good

  But this is exactly where our environment differs profoundly from the ancestral one: most of us live in a society closed over resource production. We still need food and other means to survive, but now there are no freely accessible sources of them - we're all gating access to resources for each other. Which means I always have to do someone's bidding if I want to live. I have some choice of whose bidding I'll do, but this means that I'll eventually reach a point where changing the person whose bidding I do is less effective than just doing more for the current one.

    I am a socialist, so I think that this is your body telling you that you have a political problem that you are sensing individually. It's true this kind of thing can crop up even under the best labor conditions, but much much less frequently. Startup founders do run into it and they own their work product. Still if workers get a significant share of the total value they produce and have good control of their working conditions (and can change projects easily), I suspect this will get a lot better.
