After meditating on my rant here yesterday, I had a couple more insights:

* Human beings evolved as hunter-gatherers working 2 hours per day to meet their basic needs, or about 1-2 days per week. We're designed to work hard in short bursts and save for lean times, not every single day in overcrowded communities just to scrape by. Until modern tech (and civilization itself) can provide that level of affluence for everyone on the planet through automation, it's self-evidently a bill of goods.

* To accomplish this, "People" should be substituted for "Developers" in the list above, and resources to achieve self-actualization should replace the tech-related subject matter.
