This is a ridiculous article. Assuming the problem exists, he notes the obvious and correct solution of reducing the time we spend working. Then he inexplicably abandons that and insists that we deliberately limit our productivity, so we can keep the holy 40+ hour work week. What sense does it make to ask our teachers to teach ever bigger classes? I learned way more in Sebastian Thrun's online courses than most of my college courses. Our doctors to treat more and more patients per hour? If that doesn't compromise quality, then it will lower costs and increase availability of medical care. The care and concern of one human being for another is a peculiar “commodity.” It can’t be stockpiled. It becomes degraded through trade. And humans will have more time to care for each other if we aren't forced to work unnecessarily long hours by well-meaning social engineers.
