https://medium.com/accelerated-intelligence/were-in-a-productivity-crisis-according-to-52-years-of-data-things-could-get-really-bad-5c7e53242a0. That is what happened - and is continuing to happen. I suggest reading that article, not skimming it. It's a lot of info to take in. Also, see https://wtfhappenedin1971.com for more data.

To summarize: We have this unprecedented 50x rise in manual work productivity between 1870 and 1970. Then, at the exact time you’d expect things to have another 50x boost because of the computer revolution, things start slowing down.

Republicans. Republicans happened. They threw out carters fridge and exon decided to abandon all green research and double down on PR actions and lobbying and thats all she wrote.

Bruh. I don't even.. Take China in the 70's and take China now. Did they stagnate? This is myopic, because clearly the author isn't stupid. It is beyond me how he cannot understand the wider context that brought the staled productivity in the US.

Holy fuck you have to be fucking kidding me with this shit:

​

Bottom line: It is now cool to publicly be against getting more of what you value with fewer and fewer resources. For many, productivity has become a bad word from bad people (wealthy people) from a bad system (capitalism).

Not only are we having a backlash against productivity, but the productivity paradox is also almost completely hidden from day-to-day conversation or news…

How can someone so stupid and simplistic be shared? His entire argument boils down to "haters gone hate" I hate simps like you. The passive cucks who let the ruling class rape and pilage the world on the false dream that you may one day be one of them.

Did you read the article? He’s not saying “workers failed to be more productive “. The systemic failure he’s talking about is exactly what you’re talking about.

Except his solution is all on the individual? How does he not blame you when his solution is directed at you
