A workday was also like 4 hours or less in biblical times though.

The idea that people in the past worked long, grueling hours due to lack of technology is a myth. People had way more free time in those days.

I only learned about it from the "Well There's Your Problem" podcast. Can't believe my school never talked about it. We did hear all about Challenger though as well as a few other disasters where the lesson was "If you cut corners, or take chances, people can DIE"

I work in a manufacturing company that was owned by the founder for 50 years until about 4 years ago when he retired. He disagreed with a lot of the ideas behind lean manufacturing so we had like 5 years worth of inventory sitting in our warehouse.

When the new management came in, there was a lot of squawking about inefficiency, how wasteful it was to keep so much raw material on the shelf, and how we absolutely needed to sell it off or get rid of it.

Then a funny little thing happened in 2020.

Suddenly, we were the only company in our industry still churning out product. Other companies were calling us, desperate to buy our products or even just our raw material. We saw MASSIVE growth the next two years and came out of the pandemic better than ever. And it was mostly thanks to the old owners view that "Just In Time" manufacturing was BS.

The real answer is that bathroom scales have god awful precision and accuracy.

Ah, makes sense now.

When did we switch to that instead of CP?

The largest field for people with psychology or sociology degrees is advertising. They know how people think, how societies think, and are getting better at influencing both every day.
