An odd thing I've noticed as flexwork/remote work has grown (both for employees and via gigwork) is that people "left behind" working out of actual offices are on average more attractive than ones who've vanished "behind the curtain" so to speak. Turchin sensate/ideational split?

Yeah, but with the power ratio flipped. The Eloi have the visibility/spotlight AND most of the power as well. Out of sight = out of power in some ways, though that may change.

It seems to me CEOs etc. can come and go into the office as they see fit. The ones who have to be present at 9 sharp or whatever don't have the real power. The ones who can wield flextime confidently have some power.

In an early draft of "The Time Machine," the Eloi eventually evolve into creatures similar to rabbits.
(A portent of our own future, it may explain the sudden popularity of kale.)
