Not convinced what is typically defined as "100%" is a good amount to be working for most people, either.

We need to stop glamorizing working at 150%. That extra 50% is a loan from your future self. Eventually you’ll need to collect on it.

Majority of jobs are either: - Sedentary - Physically dangerous - Heavy on stress and emotional labour Or a combination. 8-9 hours a day of that, sometimes more? Yeah, no, that can do a lot of damage.

Ah, the concerns of the wealthiest population ever to have lived. A sign of the times, and no bad thing. But perspective helps.

I didn't say the recent past (or pre-agriculture) was an improvement, particularly not in material wealth. It's not a relativistic statement. Turning it into a relativistic statement doesn't grant perspective. It distorts the point.
