The difference between Elon Musk and me lies in how hard we should work to maximize our value to the world. Musk’s value/hour to the world peaks if he works say 80h/week, then diminishes steadily towards negative marginal returns by say 100h/week. At which point it’s better for the world if he just chills instead of doing shit.

My corresponding numbers are 6 hours and 20 hours. By hour 21 I’m destroying value. 

People should be paid to work to their value-adding limit, and then paid not to work past it. The market mostly does this.

think I peak at -4h/week as I slightly undo people’s work throughout the week for maximum value
