Sure, like I said I just think its notable that we used the increased productivity to proportionally increase the size of the non-laborer population rather than reduce the per-laborer workload.
Like, to use an analogy, you know how in ‘The Jetsons’ George Jetson goes to work every day, pushes a single button, then takes a nap? I know that sketch wasn’t ever meant to be taken seriously, it’s just a joke, but think about how its implied that every family has a breadwinner husband like George with a similar job.
I feel as if, if it were like the real world, there would be a single guy frantically pressing buttons for 8 hours a day while about a billion people are supported by his effort. Though, granted, that’s a definite improvement over all of them having to work like that.
