Sure, but are you sure that we wouldn't get worse results and thus decreased living conditions?
On the other hand, who is 'we'? Some people already work even less ;)
Just to make clear, I do not argue that the situation is good as it is, I just replied to the post that complained that Russell was naive and off the mark. In my opinion, as far as predicting the future can go, Russell was fantastically right in many things. Of course not everything is right and we should work even less.
