Please note, when I talk about working excessively, it is not a humble brag. I don't like it. It's frying my brain. I know it is. I feel compelled to do so anyway because of bad structures.
Talking about it is part of signal detection…
…there is a problem.

🔥Kareem Carr 🔥 @kareem_carrModern life is getting harder. We all feel it. I'm not sure what to do about it. So, like a good nerd, I will be *reading* my way out of this mess (philosophy, statistics and self-care), and tweeting about what I read. Hope you will be interested in coming along for the ride.1 reply 0 retweets 5 likesShow this thread -

I was planning to do a breakdown of that burnout article that went around. It’s actually quite brilliant. I think we are burned out because we have almost no rest from participation in the economic system.

I hope you do. It's something that I want more smart people thinking about. (And, corrections are something I want to facilitate.)

Also, I largely agree -- the rat race now demands everyone keep a sprinter's pace.

I actually think about it all the time! I drive my friends crazy!
