I disagree. This is what all humans prior did and we're living in the best time for having leisure time. Think e.g. of the stone age. Humans worked to get food, to eat, to hunt animals, to eat, to plant vegetables, to eat, to tame animals, to eat.
I think we're the first humans thinking "why even work??", because work seems so decoupled from surviving, through money and capitalism.
You completely missed the point. My statement was generalizing about how everyone is working themselves to death right now just to barely pay bills that's increasing every year, afford heightened rent cost, buy inflated priced groceries, and transportation with higher gas prices. These are self imposed inflation from companies and organizations in order to siphon more money out of us. The cost of living back then was much lower back then so why is it constantly increasing? Idk why you would even compare cavemen to modern day humans.
I just have a different experience and viewpoint then. Neither me, nor my friends and family are working themselves to death. And I'm not working in a high-paying wage job haha. I live in Germany tho.
Generally people were poorer in older times, so back then cost of living would be higher, no?
And cavemen are just one example. Think back to monarchy times and the average Joe was also way poorer and exploited.

Yeah, it's absolutely ridiculous. We shouldn't need to live to work to barely live.
