What?
- DavidPiper 3y agoI think OP is suggesting that commoditising, tracking, sequencing and optimising your actions (i.e. productivity culture) comes at the expense of your emotions, wants and "natural life", which is a Bad Thing™ - while also not acknowledging that a complete disregard for discipline or optimisation of life's tasks might also lead to Bad Things™ (e.g. lost time, failed/unfinished creative endeavours, unnecessary external stress, etc). In general, this has always felt like the Golden Mean[1] problem to me - or for the Nietzsche fans, the conflict between our Apollonian and the Dionysian[2] urges.)
