As someone who spent my childhood in a lower middle class midwestern town around a lot of lower class (ew let's use the term blue collar? Poor. Let's use poor. Although our monetary class system is something very real that we can't deny) people, I was reared in the "you're born to work hard and you're nothing if you don't hard work is the only virtuous thing you can do with your life" mentality. Hard work is also the only way we were taught that we could make money or ever ever ever have a chance at a good life. It wasn't until I was 30 that I started to see that well educated rich kids are taught the EXACT opposite. See this cheesy 80s video They're taught that they can be and create whatever they want. They're encouraged to help society in any way they see fit. Or just be life long learners. Maybe this is the documentary I watched?
The worker mentality is so rife in the vast majority of the US population, and it's something people are really currently trying to overcome. Along with this mentality that has been shoved down our throats comes the idea that the only way to achieve anything good is by working against ourselves. (How could you be a good worker if you were attuned to your own guidance and were directed toward your own care?) The best worker and the best citizen defers to employers and authority figures. This means that instead of being attuned to our own bodies we believe in order to achieve health we must ascribe to difficult diets that eschew whole categories of food. There's every prohibitive diet that you can imagine out there. There's a diet for the prohibition of every food group: carbs, plants, cooked meat (yes, people are even on diets consisting of only raw meat), dairy, you name it. Exercise programs are about pushing yourself beyond your limits. Not listening to yourself. Not slow and steady wins the race. GO. Stay in that position until the timer goes off, not when your body says no. Injuries are a symbol of your virtuous fortitude.
One should not only work a 40+ hour a week job but should have a side hustle AND see to the responsibilities of the home seamlessly.
What happens with this extreme lifestyle is that people succumb to all its opposites: lethargy, bingeing junk food, binge drinking, depressive episodes where they not only can't perform their duties, they can't even get out of bed.
People are waking up from this mentality out of necessity. The extreme imbalance can no longer be ignored. We're forced to find our own guidance, to become ok with taking time for ourselves, time to just be. We're forced to listen to our bodies and take loving care of them rather than listening to someone outside of us who's trying to make money on their shake, diet, or exercise program by playing to our insecurities and our "work against yourself to get anything good" mentalities.
It's all part of the same insane and sick paradigm that keeps us away from our selves.
This paradigm is unsustainable and causes a deep neurosis and illness in a society and the individuals who make it up.
I see the man hours mentality showing up here on PeakD. Some people take issue when a post isn't a certain length, etc. What it boils down to is man hours. People want all posts on PeakD to take a certain amount of man hours to create. These are people who aren't in touch with the basic mission of cryptocurrency, tokenization, and decentralization and can't divorce themselves from the erroneous and outdated man hours = money paradigm that we're working together to move beyond here on Hive. Man hours are irrelevant here. See this account: 
Cryptocurrency and decentralization can be (and must be) a different paradigm that frees us from this unsustainable and unbalanced illness. Tokenization can (and should) provide us with currency in exchange for value. Which is NOT ONE AND THE SAME WITH MAN HOURS. Exercising is valuable. Both for the individual and society (see 
THAT, I hope, is the new paradigm.
