Why would you want "most people" to care about anything
/lit/? Most people are disgusting. Read the comments on a Slate advice column one time and you'll be quite convinced that most people should be dragged out to killing fields and shot in the head.

That's the most ridiculous thing I've heard in weeks. Defend your claim, in the face of Playstation, beer, and porn. I want to see what kind of absurd shit you come up with.

He probably thinks because people only had to do a few hours of paid labor a day that the rest of their time was for leisure, or because they satyed in during the winter that all their time was for leisure.

no we have more leisure because a large part our economy is making things easier for exchange of money. which is why you have things like microwave dinner and washing machines. there are so many things you just don't have to do that previous generations had to. if you have even a modest middle class income you can buy a lot of time. and people do. even then they lack intellectual curiosity. throw some irl bait about say gravitational wave detection last year. people just don't care.

What if most people are right? who cares about dostoev-whoever when you could be out boating or partying or having sex?

It’s not their fault that you need to think all the time because your serotonin machine is broken.
