So what you're saying is that before the invention of the lamp, people had respite from work. Worker productivity has increased enormously in the last 100 years. My job entails putting good people out of work through analysis and design of more efficient (read: automated) workflows. At what point do we realize that we have to let go the "work hard every day until you die because that's the way may grandparents lived" ethic?
