>>562730Hard work--or longer hours--lowers productivity after a certain amount of time. This whole cult of hard work meme going around is actually kind of destructive, like most religious dogma. What society needs is the most efficient output. This comes with things like relaxation, autonomy, and control over your own life/hours worked. The real magic happens when no one is even thinking about work in terms of work, but just a team of people lost in something that interests them.
Also, take a second look at Mike Rowe in this picture. He looks like a crazy white lady holding up his demands about patriarchy.
