Effective Reproduction: From Degen to Regen

Aaros.eth argues that workers, creators and digital nomads should shift focus from extending work hours to improving "personal reproduction," meaning non-productive activities such as sleep, reading, relationships and physical health. The essay draws on the Marxist concept of reproducing labour power, which it says requires personal physiological, psychological and social needs to be met. It recommends extending reproduction time, compressing production time, and diversifying reproduction activities, and says this approach can address fragmented entertainment, procrastination, anxiety and low energy.
