Interesting. Just another reason I'm convinced some of these recent non-fiction is just commentary (almost) making-up/inflating a problem and then providing a "magic" solution. The content isn't nearly as timeless nor broadly true.
yeah, it's content marketing which is all the rage these days. The purpose of pieces like this is to advertise (the VC fund) not to provide deep insight
The article is a joke. But your "Pay people more, work them less" comment is tipping off people. You must be on to something lol.
> strategies such as joining clubs or pursuing hobbies
I have to go online to find the clubs?
In America, there's consolidation everywhere in search of greater efficiency and profits. From local tennis clubs merging into city-wide organizations managed through an app to monopolies emerging in corporate landscape.
One way to interpret parent kubielid - he is referring to the infinite rat race for diminishing marginal returns.
> all of human history worked
And you are also correct. They probably had a tough life and for those humans, the reward was survival and more. I can only imagine waking up on a cold morning, no running water, stepping out on the fields, using average manual tools. They probably stuck around in groups.
> where I could be one of those people to bring up quotes and concepts, citing back to the original source, with freakish accuracy
If you cannot retrieve a few timeless (to you or in general) quotes/concepts/dialogues and a few trending ones (trending in big or small circles) - there is some amount of info/tasks overload going on.
Also I think we find people who can "bring up quotes and concepts with freakish accuracy" cool for some reasons.
I had offloaded YouTube on my phone since the phone is out of storage. Not going back.
