We have never had more free time and comparative ease of labor unless you want to go all the way back to hunter/gatherer days and a life expectancy of 25.


That not true, sadly. 14th century peasants only worked for a portion of the year, and had long periods of downtime.

The crazy work week is a modern phenomenon, and it goes back to electric lighting and factories.

Hunter gatherers actually had normal lifespans, if you exclude infant mortality. In many many ways they were healthier and I suspect happier than we are.
