I think the problem is that our civilization is built in the idea of comfort and economic specialization.
Agree. But in order to change that, we have to change our value system.
Worst thing, I'm almost sure that this accumulation of stress can slow down productivity.
That's the worst thing? As you can see, productivity is still our highest value. Health and well-being are not worthy goals on their own, but they are pursued to get more productive.
> If that's the worst thing, then productivity is still our highest value, and health comes second.

But I tend to think that cerebral workers would work much better if they have less stress or better mental health.
