Yes, but working every waking hour is a good way to burn out. Cleaning your own toilet might be inefficient but it will remind you that you are human.

I know you're not being literal here, but I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. Are you saying that having a high-paying job automatically makes you feel like you're better than everyone else and doing mundane chores reminds you you're all people?[1] The problem with that is "thinking you're better than everyone else" in the first place, not "missing out on mundane chores". [1] Apologies if I'm misinterpreting you here: if so, what did you mean instead?

- wutbrodo 12y agoIn case you're talking about "I know you're not being literal here": Because only a lunatic would think that high-status people think they're literally no longer classified as Homo Sapiens? In case you're talking about "Apologies if I'm misinterpreting you here": The word "if" is generally used to indicate conditioning on an event: i.e. "considering only the situation in which this is true". Nothing about the word indicates "certainty" about anything.
- mblakele 12y agoLunatic? Well, I avoid making statements about my own sanity. But people sometimes decide that they are superhuman, or that others are subhuman. The ancient Greeks called it hubris. Nowadays we are more likely to say someone is out of touch, or living in a bubble. It shows up in comments like "Only the little people pay taxes".
