Ah, but in Bronze Age Europe, most people woke up with the sun, ate when they felt hungry, and went to bed when night fell. And their work was all physical: hunting, gathering, etc.
The imposition of an artificial (man-made) time-keeping system, and the rise of non-physical work, screwed us over. And the Industrial Revolution, which made humans slaves to the clock and the machinery, REALLY screwed us over, because humans (and, indeed ALL animals) are organic creatures, who are governed by Nature’s clocks.
When you impose arbitrary, man-made systems (including trying to reduce productivity and creativity to mathematical formulae & criteria), you go completely against human nature. It’s like trying to force cats to walk upright!
Boy, for a species that’s supposed to be the smartest one on the planet, humans sure are stupid!
