I think this was also true 50 years ago. I’m unconvinced that we’re working harder today compared to the past.
I do agree society overall is higher stress mainly due to the internet and constant attention grabbing in all directions.
- abnercoimbre 2y agoCouple that with lack of in-person communities. They are ephemeral at best now.

- _DeadFred_ 2y agoThe repetitiveness of modern labor has moved full body physical labour to single point of failure on your body tasks with the likelier end result being you will end up crippled in some way (and having to just work with it) or have other overuse injuries which then leads to constant chronic pain.
