Welll that's a very personal and valuable realization, but calling "productivity a scam" might be a bit strong. For many, intense effort isn't about looking cool; it's about necessity, breaking through, or sheer ambition. Not everyone has the luxury of cutting down to 3 hours a day, especially when starting out or facing tough competition. The grind can be vital for skill acquisition and achieving escape velocity, not just burnout. It's about finding your balance, but the hard work itself often remains a critical ingredient for success.
