A greedy individualistic few will disrupt the idea of the Four-Hour Work Day

The greed and individualism of a few will disrupt, slow and maybe make the introduction of the Four-Hour Work Day and impossibility.

Greed and individualism is
unbalancing the world.

Any switch to that new way of working and living a hitherto unseen, and probably utopian broad and encompassing, swathe of altruism.

Endless calls for research, reports and other time-wasting distractions aimed at preserving what is and within that the lifestyles of those in the rich developed world – that’s pretty much anyone who can read this – blatantly ignores the critical state of the world, or at least a world that is habitable for humans.

The root of troubles confronting the world is, primarily, is that there is simply too many of us – there is presently in excess of seven billion people on earth, it was earlier estimated to increase to nine billion by 2050, but recent re-calculations put number closer to ten billion.

We are already in catastrophic consumptive overshoot and whether the number be nine or ten billion is somewhat irrelevant as the need to slow our consumption and use of energy has reached a level of urgency that can only be described as “critical”.

Introduction of the Four-Hour Work Day may seem dramatic, unnecessary and something of a knee-jerk reaction, but compared to the implications that will settle upon the world if we adhere to the business-as-usual mindset, it will appear inconsequential.
