That free time is where quite a bit of societies progress comes from. Its an oversubscribed cpu, nonessential processes will hang for forever. For you, that means no cell phone, no heat in the winter, no ac in the summer, you are permanently starving, your feet are covered in cuts from walking with poor quality shoes, you will be dead by 35 without intervention. What would you say, do they need it?
- hgomersall 3y agoI think your understanding of pre-industrial societies needs recalibrating. Not least on the question of how much free time they had (that is, most people worked fewer hours than most people now). A better question to ask is whether we are happier now. I suspect not on average.
