Overworked Nations & the Limits of the Global Economy [stream #54]

This was a productive livestream episode I held on my TikTok channel. I spoke about the number of days worked throughout history. It turns out that medieval Europeans used to work about 125 days out of a year. Compared to over 300 today for ordinary employees. People are overworked because they are robbed of their free time to develop themselves and their personalities. Since you can’t work more than 365 days a year, the global economy is limited by the supply of humans. And this supply, too, has its limits. People, tired of being overworked, may turn to the off-the-grid lifestyles of the Amish and others alike. By realizing that we possess within ourselves potential skills and competencies, we can start cutting loose from our oppressive economic “governments”.
