    Yeah generally.

    But if folks are unmotivated for the work they are forced to do, then you get shit work.

    If people.just chase profit, you get what we have now.

    There’s no way we are maintaining the standards of modernity on 3h a day where folks are dictated by some outside force into what labor is most needed

      We chase money because this equates to goods and services. Well there’s a huge excess of money being produced and horded.

      This excess production is a result of … work (plus machinery, efficiency improvements etc).

        Obviously. That was the edit “what we have now” I referred to.

        I’m not idealizing the current system, I’m saying 3h of “whatever needs to be done” isn’t going to keep us anywhere near a western standard of living

          3h per day doesn’t need to be portioned as such. Maybe you work 8 hour days for 6 months and take the rest of the year off until you’re back for your next project.

              Fair enough but we can be charitable and consider it an average. Dismissing it by literal interpretation isn’t advancing the conversation. Apply the principle of charity and the point stands.

                Sure but I can’t be able to cover every possible non traditional work type.

                My point is I was specifically contrasting the stated 3h ancient standard
