For 30 years, productivity sky-rocketed with the advancement of automation and computing. Meanwhile, a decline in longevity was observed, correlated to sleep depravation. Productivity improvement goes to the owners class' pockets, sleep benefits the workers health.
For 30 years, productivity skyrocketed through automation, yet longevity plummeted as a direct result of sleep deprivation. While these gains accrue to the owner class, sleep remains an undervalued element of the worker's health. We are trading life expectancy for chump change.
i was under the impression life expectancy has been steadily increasing over the last century, where are these quotes from? and which date?
I have no additional information here, but maybe if there were some study that tied sleep deprivation to higher levels of automation, we could link that to the more well-established health detriments of under sleeping.
Oh, sorry didn't mean to mislead anyone, it was a hyperbolic short essay on productivity vs sleep, I am merely writing here as a daily exercise to improve my english writing skills.
ah, I was simply curious, thought you were quoting something. No worries, your English writing is great!
Not enough for my goal apparently! Which is to find a job in an english speaking setting. I've been ghosted by many recruiters. Orally, I don't project confidence, I stutter a lot and have difficulty finding my words at times. Saw textlog as an opportunity to work on it :)
Same here, my writing is good but orally I still do a lot of uhms. It does not sound good but I'm trying to improve.
felt, i feel like this too often. fwiw, i've realised that it's less of a communication skill issue and more of a confidence issue impairing my communication.
I am pretty sure confience is what is at work in my case. Did you try something specific to improve in that regard?
[1/2] accepting that communication clarity is a spectrum where language skill isn't the only variable. it's influenced by dialect, accent, colloquialism usage, etc., & having to repeat myself to someone occasionally doesn't imply a skill issue at either end of the conversation
[2/2] e.g, english is my first language, but my accent and pronounciation are wildly different from what western speakers are used to, so there's a happy medium of minimal adjustments i make in conversation with them, i'm okay with clearly conveying the essence of the discussion
That said, in Canada working class started loosing life expentancy for the 3rd year in a row, and WHO figures show a decline in improvement of life expentancy globally. But hey, I am just a no-one on the internet spewing bs :)
a decline in the improvement of life expectancy isn't the same as a decline in life expectancy, it's just that it's improving less fast now, we might be reaching biological limits however?
We tought for years that there was a biological ceiling for sprinters or marathon runners for example, with research backing it, but every one record was shattered. I tend to be cautious of biological explanations.
