I'm not saying we're at the point to fully stop working, but we've honestly been at the point that working 40hrs+ a week is no longer what's needed to maintain our current state. But the issue is that large public businesses are unsustainable by maintaining their current state, they must always have growth. We must always work harder. We must always work more efficiently. We must always work more. Because the business must grow. This would require the idea of success as a business to change from constant growth to sustainability (in an economic sense). If we're able to shift our focus from constant growth to sustainability that will ultimately open up more time for us as a society to spend time away from work. To explore new ventures, to collaborate, to focus on answering questions that aren't profit-motivated. That's how we can slowly adapt to a society of minimally-exploitative work. Someone has to start somewhere, and I'm hoping this younger generation can break us older generations out of our growth-motivated fog to begin adapting our society to sustainability rather than growth at all costs.
