Not working is bad for your health

While completely true, its strange how society (not you personally) is so aware of that and so ignorant of how the hours we work are also bad for our health. Its as if the world went “well, as absolute zero is bad, working as much as possible must be good.”

We can see the “blue zones” on the map where they have significantly more people who live to 100 and not only do they live that long, they live well. We can replicate every part of what they do but we don’t get anything close to the same results.

Well, every part but one. In every blue zone, they all work far, far less than the vast majority of the people in the world.

I think we would work because people want to contribute and people want to feel valued/needed. Most people aren’t like the lazy shareholders or the workshy landlord. Instead, they don’t want to live off of other people’s hard work.
