- whaleidk 9mo agoSee a lot of people on this site doing it willingly. I think a lot of people will always choose perceived convenience over anything
- Ygg2 9mo agoYou are correct; however, it should be noted that even the top 1% overworks themselves to some extent (e.g. American CEOs work on average 63h per week). They do it for a different reason, though.
- alex43578 9mo agoYou could always choose to work less, but would have less as a result. These days, that choice is more viable than ever, as the basic level of living supported by even a few hours a week of minimum wage affords you luxuries unimaginable 50 or 100 years ago.
- aiven 9mo agothe system is built in a way that you need to run in order to stay still. you cant just "work less" because you will not have stability this way. new slaves using new shiny tools will work more and more and outcompete you in whatever domain you are working. so you will be forced to work more, to learn more in order just to keep your current lifestyle. without basic morality and gov regulation capitalism would exploit humans like cattle. 996 should be outlawed everywhere
