This is mostly a rant on the style of article title and intro. The content may be interesting, but I seriously doubt it.
It starts off with:
> Hunter-gatherers worked 15-hour weeks. Why don’t we?
Uh, well, for starters, 15 hours is apparently what it took to survive and live a comparatively successful lifestyle back then, a lifestyle that really only involved SURVIVING to see the next day.
Dial that up to what it takes to live a comparatively successful lifestyle now and you know the reasons, article done.
The whole "15 hours" thing is misleading considering that in the modern world where we're not all on the same playing field anymore (for a lot of disturbing underlying reasons) and just fighting for survival is no longer the common experience or goal, and again, lots of easy reasons.
I did not read this whole thing but the premise and title seems to ignore so many obvious reasons out of the gate that it didn't seem worth it. Maybe they got down stating some obvious reasons, but I may never know... starting off with a click-bait title and intro lost my interest asap.
If you want to comment "but hey, you never said what those easy reasons are!! provide links!!" then you are probably part of the problem.
