Yeah, I read Max Weber’s The Protestant Work Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism in college. So did you.
I’m now realizing that I have about five productive hours in me every day. Then the intellect and the hunger and drive to succeed isn’t so sharp. But my The Protestant Work Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism brain module doesn’t turn off and I keep grinding for hours more, to negative effect.
Apparently the book describes something real in me. Or it spun a myth that I took as true.
It’s something to look at.
