What is life in japan like?

>>213391163 (OP)
For a first world country, those working hours are very grueling.
Personally, I have to wake up 5:30, be at work at 7:00 and leave at 17:00 (+one hour break anywhere in there). At least at my workplace, overtime is forbidden, the HR lady will literally kick me out if I stay past my time.
I heard most firties work from 9:00 to 17:00 + one hour break.

In my mind brazilians don't work, they just do this

>wake up at 10AM
>its a sunny breezy 30 degrees Celsius outside
>stick arm out the window and grab a free banana for breakfast
>leave house at 11 AM
>go on your boat, catch a fish in the ocean, this single catch will provide for your family for weeks, you won't have to work again for days
>head back to shore
>siesta from 12 PM to 2 PM
>head to market and sell your fish, everyone at the market knows you and is excited to see you
>several mothers try to set you up with their daughters
>leave market at 3 PM with a handsome sum in your local currency, with your money you head to the beach with a bottle of rum you bought for the equivalent of 1 dollar USD
>play soccer at the beach and party with your friends who are all also off work
>its a tuesday btw, you do something like this every night
>none of the girls there are fat, everyone is fit, you dance with a 10/10 (you are really good at dancing) and eventually hook-up with her
>you hang out for hours and not one person mentions things like white privilege, cis-privilege, or thin-privilege
>the only brainwashing guilt you need is the guilt of original sin, but you know you are ok because Jesus died for your sins.
>you go back home at 8 PM, your mum has a grand meal prepared for you, the meal is made from fresh local ingredients and cooked according to a recipe passed down in your family for generations
>before eating you pray to God and he blesses you (you will go to heaven)
>just before you fall asleep you look at your old iPhone X, and get on /int/ to say how much you suffer

>takes him 75 minutes to get to work

le heckin based walkable cities!

I do wonder if we are wrong to believe this is a bad work life, I mean most of us are comparing are lives to the most recent generations like boomers who lived in unprecedented (and probably unreplaceable) economic growth maybe this is just a return to homeostasis what you nigger think?

>>213392848
more like a return to homo status haha

for most of human history the vast majority of the population were peasant serfs and there was a tiny landholding ruling class

we are just reverting back to the norm, the middle class boom of the 20th century was a total outlier

Like the vid. But I also went out a lot and dined and sang at karaoke bars. Short term it’s fun.

huh?

Lines go up and down a lot. We've only had analytics like we do now for a short while. But boomers are not the last generation to see growth like that. They're not even the generation that will see the most growth. But we're pretty much a lost generation if we're around the same age.

That's supply mediated as well though...

Human beings are funny creatures. We can argue these are actually good conditions compared to the medieval peasant or the roman slave. But we don't know the mindset of the common peasant or slave, whose thoughts were never written down. We don't know what motivated him, what he looked forward to, the things that made him happy or sad, and how he felt getting up each day to do his masters work and how he coped with his reality.
For us, we feel that our society has failed to produce a mindset that adequately copes with our work. Maybe work that you can easily see and visibly feel is contributing to your sustenance, like the subsistence food production most of humanity worked since the agricultural revolution, makes it easier to bear. Maybe the slave and the master existing close together and not separated by the layers of abstraction current corporate technology allows made enduring it all the easier. In some ways, our perception and outlook is harder to change than our reality, which is changing always.
Of course, I have no conclusions from this. But I think we should be aware of the unprecedented things and ways of living our mind has to look at and endure in these times.

I feel like a lot of people were pretty miserable but a lot of people also just kept having 12 kids and making more

On the other hand there were also a lot of stateless or mostly autonomous people for much of history too, and people who got lucky within oppressive systems.
