I blame Industrial Age capitalism for installing this work ethic more than average workers for letting it get installed. There was some seriously high-powered Straussian programming effort behind this shit for decades. Clickbait attention hacking today is nothing by comparison.

So long as people think “work hard and play by the rules” is a principled way of living that should lead to sustained good outcomes over a lifetime, the same shitty macro outcomes will keep happening. It’s not just a stupid way to live, it’s kinda morally questionable.
