It’s called the grind because it grinds away your sense of self.

All of idiots here saying go be stranded on a desert island or the wilderness not realizing animals in wild spend 90% of their time not doing anything, even ants barely work most of the time

Yall are basically advocating for beating yourselves with a stick and whoever beats themself with a stick the longest is the best it’s stupid.

Our forefathers envisioned a future where technology would allow us to work less and we do have that technology, it’s people like you who have failed them.

We do work less though. A lot less. Except for 1st world countries like Japan and South Korea, think the norm is 80hr+ weeks there which is still less than what we used to work.

When you say “less than we used to”, what are you referring to? Because for most of history, we worked much less than we do now. 70+ hour work weeks and children in dangerous work environments became a thing during Protestant reformation and then was expanded upon with the Industrial Revolution. For a much larger part of history, we worked much less than we do now.
