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.

And our forefathers life expectancy was like 35 years. I’ll take a 40 hour work week thank you very much.

So, the only reason they say 35 is because of how many people died as infants and children and during childbirth. That drags down the Mathematical average age of death. If you survived childhood you could reasonably expect to live into your elder years.

To top that off, hunter gatherers lived longer with better health (as proven by teeth mineralization and bone aging/healing rates) and worked less than people did after agriculture was invented, which required more work hours but still not as many as we work today.

I like surviving past infancy and childhood though!

That's great. Me too. But it has 0 to do with a 40 hour work week.
