In the next few months and years a lot of people might not even have a job to be able work any hours a week.

I get that a 4 day 32 hour work week sounds reasonable, but this model is going to rapidly become outdated as automation renders entire portions if not the entire job a person has obsolete.

We should be focusing on something that is real and in our near future. Finding a way to distribute the unprecedented wealth and efficiency that will come from AI into the pockets of the increasingly unemployed masses instead of a few corporations.

As someone who works in D&A I will say I am in favor of AA/NA but not for the program and the big book…more so just for the support amongst others in your community who are also working to maintain their sobriety….addiction is a mother fucker, and is a very difficult struggle as many who are entering into treatment have left many friends behind in order to get sober….having those friends and supports who are sober and who can be there for you are very important. One of the larger reasons for relapse I’ve come across is boredom/loneliness. You become sober and you can’t hang out with the people you used to due to triggers with wanting to use, but eventually for some that loneliness does become to much.

Mentally challenging jobs like mine (software architect but I also do a lot of hands on coding) can be just as draining as the physically challenging ones. Decision fatigue can happen very quickly, leaving little energy left for chores or recreation. A 4 day work week would be a huge benefit for achieving personal goals that don't involve work.
