> This particular article does touch on a goal that isn’t usually explicitly stated: it would make the world “less unequal” if everyone was prevented from working longer hours. Yes, it would, but I am deeply appalled at the thought of trading away individual freedom of action and additional value in the world for that goal.
The conclusion that an article discussing productivity research is secret conspiracy against people who want to work a lot of hours, is a bit mind boggling.
He never suggests he's tried working fewer hours. Have to wonder if the guy is just one of those people incapable of taking a break.
- solarmist 3y agoPretty sure that’s the case. He has one deep interest at a time and literally everything else is a distraction from that. He is a “live to work” person who’s never had to “work to live” since his first couple years when the learning of it was enough to sustain his forward movement. Sure he has crap work he needs to do, but it’s all in service of what he already cares about. So no cognitive dissonance.
