The more I think about this... Vaupel doesn't go far enough in questioning our culture of work. The real issue is not that many work long hours and don't have enough leisure time to spend with friends, family, other community, etc. The real problem is that the capitalist machine continues to infringe on our value…

Define "work." I would say I'm almost always "working" on something even if it's totally unrelated to what I'm paid to do. Like others, the work activities that I'm paid to do take a relatively small amount of time—probably 10 hours per week.

Einstein's quote is good advice for building logical systems.

Yes, because information isn't made up or flawed on the internet...? Not to mention that human conversation is much more than just an information exchange.

That is terrible advice. Humanity flourishing depends on conversation, and nothing ruins a conversation like, "Hang on, let me see what the internet says because I can't remember anything interesting to say about it."
