> We could be working 15-hour weeks, enjoying our free time, and living like people of the future. Matt Gallagher asks: Why aren’t we? Simple, two reasons: 1) world wide living standards are the highest they've been despite what click-bait negativity would want you to believe. 2) people want MORE and are willing to compete for it. If we go back to living standards from 100 years ago (life expectancy, poverty levels, human rights, etc) and nobody wants to compete for more than that, sure, we can have 15 hours work weeks and all the leisure in the world.
