We’re all forced work ourselves into early graves, one way or another. Worse still is the lack of quality of life you’ll have, later on, after the ownership class has worked you into the ground and discarded you as no longer useful.
There are “blue zones” where way, way over the average number of people live past 100. Not only that, they’re really active and fully mentally there at those advanced ages too. We’ve tried to replicate every one of the things they have in common: Mediterranean or Japanese food, more excersise, community etc. but we just can’t get the same results.
Well, every part but one:
They all work far, far less than we do in the west. Like 3 hours a day and light chores afterwards, with the family usually while chatting or singing.
You can’t live better than a king could ever dream, off of other people’s hard work like that though.
Thats cool thanks. At least i was right to be skeptical, I guess lol and I agree on there being a pattern for living a better life and its wealth.
Not wage or salary, just to be clear.
Specifically: wealth which comprises of things that earn you money, for not working, meaning you don’t have to work or you can work much less. Which, along with diet, is the main reason wealthy people live longer.
Its right there in front of us but we’re not allowed to look at it.
The idea that we all have to work the hours that we do, for us all to live comfortably, is the original claim here. One that you seen to back and demand sufficient evidence, to your own personal standard of burden and quality, or it must be 100% true, even if it definitely sounds like a lie rich people would make up to trick you into working for their profit.
Source: WW2. People don’t really take in how much of the world was at war in WW2. Appart from the obvious, the civil war in China and the millions of indians conscripted made the numbers of human men fighting, per percent of the population, huge. Yet, despite this, they had enough bullets, aircraft, ships etc. to literally fight a world war. Something like 3 tonnes of ammo was shot per soldier killed: insane production levels.
More so, outside of of deliberate action, callousness and or incompetence, there was more than enough food produced and no one staved.
If we could do that then, why couldn’t we do that even better now?
Unless you have a source that we do need to work 80% of the hours we’re awake as an adult, just to keep the world from grinding to a hault and us all dying of starvation and you weren’t just going to point at the planet and go “see, were not all dead” you got the source you deserve.

I recently watched a Rebecca Watson video where she rips into the “blue zone” concept.

Beyond the ownership class, this ain’t happening chief.
Unless you’ve got some kinda source.
