I wonder if the same logic could be transferred to other parts of the economy. Mutual disarmament for the amount of “growth”, for the amount of consumption, for the working hours, etc. I feel that people would be much more eager to cut back on some things if they knew that they would not be outcompeted into dirt if they did so.

It’s a society-wide prisoners’ dilemma, but I think most of the proposed cures are worse than the disease.
I don’t want to rule out the possibility for someone to decide to work harder/achieve more if they want or to try to compress their working life into 10 instead of 40 years.
