You, with derision:

> Taking a valid and correct observation and then strawmanning it with a crappy comic strip does not turn it into a invalid and incorrect observation.

> The whole article above reminds me of when my brother went through his "I don't know why everybody works. They are so stupid" phase in late teens. Except this guy never grew out of it and he is now 30-something.

So... Is it okay to decide to change on a personal level to not work or does that make you a dingus like your brother?

The whole point is that we have achieved insane productivity without the commensurate increase in quality of life and leisure due to the idiotic status quo.

> But if somebody writes a small book with the premise of "everybody in the world is a idiot except me"... then I have a pretty good idea on the odds of that statement being true.

Indeed.
