Life doesn't have to be all or nothing. You can both continue to work at a desk and also take unaccountable breaks - in fact, if you're rich enough, you can do whatever the hell you want. To be fair, the article does seem to insinuate people will return to like a totally normal 40-hour workweek, but you can also return to a 10-hour part-time job or start a non-profit or something.
