Exactly. Sometimes I feel like we're playing a game where we see just how many different ways we can regurgitate old ideas in the style of Patrick Bateman (emotionless, preachy, assuming superiority).

Hopefully OP realizes this before it's too late: This lifestyle -- these attempts at maximizing productivity will decrease your happiness. They completely ignore a well-accepted truth: variety is the spice of life. In the 90s we started to laugh at the yuppie workaholics of the 80s for what they were and all they failed (and succeeded) to do. It seems we've forgotten the tragedy of their often short-sighted and unsustainable lifestyle choices because I see them being repeated.

To anyone who has subscribed to this lifestyle: Go watch American Psycho and introspect on how much you're becoming a modern day version of that caricature of insanity (minus the literal killing).
