Thanks! I'm mostly just a Martin Hägglund shill around this these days.

I obviously agree that the abundance of time both used to be the big thing, and would be nice as part of today's discourse, though my sense is actually implementing it is a question of power. Curious how you both see it?

How do you find the Sennheiser noise cancelling?

Good time to go finish the book then! (Thanks for writing it — loving it so far)

I'm also realizing that entrepreneurialism's success in conflating the "heroic spirit," or the most valued and elevated human pursuits, with economic activity probably has a lot to do with why American culture largely abandoned caring about the project of being able to choose more leisure time

(you can tell how thoroughly disconnected the idea of a "heroic spirit" was from any economic or commercial activity, maybe until the rise of entrepreneurialism, as @erikmbaker.bsky.social's new book documents)

Anyway, now I have to ask: do normal adults wear undershirts with suits/tuxedo shirts?
