Having studied the history of work, this is one of those things that sounds super smart, but is actually half-baked nonsense. As hard and crappy as medieval life was, you still work twice as many days in a year as a medieval peasant did. It gets worse the more societies and ways of life you study.
So we should work hard because our ancestors worked hard?
We should work hard studying so our reading comprehension is better
Oh sorry, I'm suppose to automatically give credence to the, "the work you do is insignificant compared to our ape ancestors" guy because he wrote it in a post. Bite me.
LMAO only a commie would downvote this.
