    there are ways to contribute that aren't 40+ hours a week.

    If your position is simply that people need to work less, you're doing a very bad job of relaying that, and thus shooting yourself in both feet.

    I hate to admit this, but I agree. My qualm isn't with the message that we ought to work less. That's smart. Why shouldn't we live in a society where we can have a fulfilling lifestyle without endless soul crushing work?

    My qualm is with the wording. The implication is that one should consent to work, but really work is a fundamental truth. Take away the facade of society and all we have is our struggle to survive the elements and find food, i.e. work.
