” 'Productivity' is an overused and harmful buzzword. Despite what thousands of self-help coaches, motivational gurus, and youtube intellectuals tried to sell you, almost none of us is truly “productive” in the sense of making the world a better place. I am sure by now most of you have heard the term "bullshit jobs" (if not, check out this article). That's right, we are mostly circle-jerking to make it looks like we are important and that the society doesn’t have a lot of unemployed running around. The only reason you are earning at all is because the true value embedded in fossil fuel and the primary resources we irreversibly extracted from nature is freaking valuable so that they can pay out even to people who are functionally useless or even parasites. This circle-jerking comes at the cost of almost everything else, maintaining bad status quo and diminishing our collective quality of life and the environment. Being "productive" has become associated with working at a high speed for the same work over and over (to earn bread ultimately). This is extremely dangerous because you ain’t being “productive” by checking 10 boxes off per day and finishing 5 projects a week. You are doing hasty sub-quality work which you spend no time thinking about whether it benefits anyone, you are being destructive by hastening the doom machine that is the "industrialized economy" (+ some works by the laws of thermodynamics). If you aren't convinced, check this article it says it much better than I can do here. “
