    Sure but …

    I imagine any number of slaves would disagree with you on the downtime.

    The number of slaves extant today is far greater than at any time in history.

      Are you trolling?

      The number of people living happily in luxury unimaginable to 99% of people who have ever lived is also FAR greater than at any time in human history.

        No, I’m not trolling.

        I just asserting that people generally had more down time in the past.

          I just asserting that people generally had more down time in the past.

          By using total instead of share. Which also means there is even a more gigantic number of people with more wealth and leisure than any point in human history.

          Do you see why using total number is mind numbingly silly?

            God this is tedious.

            By all means, continue thinking that everyone worked all day in the before times.
