Anthropology and the Law of One

[Peregrinus]

"backfiring" or not, we obviously did gain more leisure time after the industrial revolution.

I don't know about that. Find the great amount of leisure in my last 20 years of work...

1983-1990 Military, varied hours
1990-1997 13 hour days, 240 days a year
1997-1998 10-18 hour days, 270 days a year
1998-2001 8-16 hour days, 340+ days a year
2001-2006 8-16 hour days, 100-130 days on/ 30 days off, year round
2007-2008 12-14 hour days, 32 on/ 28 off year round
Oct 2008-2010, on the road to enlightenment

I considered 2007-2008 to be like a holiday. Before that was brutal.
