    This productivity increase has been happening since the start of humanity.

    It’s kind of accumulative effect given the gains from technology we have

    It makes sense that people will be able to work then more years, as your qol is also increasing as well

      We’re more productive than ever and there’s more of us than ever and your conclusion to that information is that of course we should also be working more than ever?

      You don’t question that if there’s more of us and we’re all more productive, then we should be doing less work? Because if we were able to meet our needs before then it should be even easier to meet our needs now as we’re more productive per person than before and we also have even more people capable of doing the work.

      What you’re saying makes sense only if you put the production of goods above the wellbeing of the people producing the goods. So ask yourself, what’s the purpose of producing goods? If it’s not for us then who is it for?
