I see that you get to that point towards the end of the article. Kudos for writing that insight, but the beginning and history of productivity seem a bit irrelevant. If I had a magic wand, I would reduce the article to 1/4 its length.

why not talk more about the labor theory of value? imo the future of "productivity" should be the realization that the fetishizing of hustle culture is a byproduct of excessive orientation towards captialism https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmMJbwE8j98
