Edgard Augusto’s Reviews > The Burnout Society > Status Update

He was generalizing, but it only applies to individuals experiencing from post-industrial society, which is neither homogeneous geographically nor economically; much less ethnically.

"The more often one changes one’s identity, the more production is dynamized. Industrial disciplinary society relied on unchanging identity, whereas postindustrial achievement society requires a flexible person to heighten production."

Someone tells him that people haven't abandoned contemplative life for choice; The lack of freedom has deprived many of having time to contemplate. He assumes that people possess "leisure," but This is not the reality for most people who remain trapped in rotating shifts and days off prohibiting them to seek job interviews, or cuz they must give notice to their current employer and lack savings cuz of minimum wage.
