Self Industry Complex : Toxic Productivity


 

26 minutes (with an audible ad I'd suggest you'd skip. Go for Libby.)


The grind, ah, the grind. Even to the point of the limit of self-improvement, the bravery has to. The work-more-hours cult is always rearing its ugly head, and it's got into new-age stuff regarding its belief system going into mysticism not contingent on an entity.

Hustle-culture as everything defined by our work, and that this work-life balance that is made to 'make it' yet the meritocratic myth of the cool kids and the math does not add up, and the viable business model.

False lifestyles of physically impossible lifestyles. That's self-exploitation is now a thing. This has been going 30 years from now, and it's only a matter of time to avoid these narratives to pursue a more caring one with compassion.

Byung-Chul Han should proselytize of the virtue of uselessness. Then with our own times, with each construction of self that is to be commodified by ad-creep of seo ad-directed sectors of our net. It's an addiction to these business models meant to lead out into our system, which we all meant to live in.

Only with our these that are meant to bring predictable results, will be tilted in new directions, into a better system.

I'll have to add that book to my reading list, in regard to the burnout society.
