    I don’t understand the perspective that people should be more lazy. When people have lazy coworkers, they tend to suffer since they have to go above and beyond to get a task done. It’s like having a group project in school, and there’s the one guy that just does the bare minimum, so you have to work twice as hard so your grade doesn’t go down.

    And if everyone simultaneously became lazy, that would be a disaster too. You don’t want hospitals or firefighters to suddenly decide they want to just run down the clock instead of doing the best job they can.

    If you look at it only through the perspective of the morality of labor, it makes sense to say the rich are lazy and so it’s fair for the poor to be equally lazy, but when you look at the larger picture, it’s a lot less cut and dry.

    The truth is, our current standard of living is based on the amount of work people do. If everyone suddenly became less productive, we would enter a recession or an economic depression.

    A mile is 1760 yards, and there are three feet in a yard. Therefore, 1760 feet is 1/3 of a mile, and 2/3s of a mile is 3520 feet.

    The imperial system is actually excellent for division and multiplication. All units are very composite, so you usually don’t need to worry about decimals.

    You say it’s the goal of the proletariat to protect the revolution, but why would they? Each proletariat would benefit from the revolution’s failure- they could live better lives as the bourgeois. You talk about the proletariat like they are some monolithic entity, with a single mind and goal. You talk big about helping the individual, but cannot see beyond their class. The proletariat is a person, with needs, desires and opinions. What father would hold the abstract ideals of the “revolution” over the life of his sick daughter? Any father I know would do anything for the safety of his children, even hoard life-saving medicine from others.
