It's not all rare for certain workers to to spend 14+ hour days, 7 days a week, for multiple weeks straight, without any breaks. And they do this every year, year after year. And they can still live to their 80s.

The claim that a long period of rest is always necessary in-between 100 hour work weeks is simply not true.

Physical work? Maybe, if the person is fit and the work is sufficiently easy.

Creative innovative mental work? In these amounts it will fuck you up.

I've met at least 1 person capable of doing 'creative innovative mental work' on a similar basis. Making categorical claims over billions of adults is simply incorrect.

How did you meet that person?

The same way anyone meets someone? By approaching them, talking to them, getting to know them?
