That assumes is a goal in its own sake. I’m making an argument that productivity is a means to an end, not an end itself. It’s similar to the alignment problem of AI.

Put differently, do you think a lower quality of life is a worthwhile tradeoff if it raises productivity? What about the inverse?

The goal should be to raise quality of life. The only way to do that is to raise productivity.
