The "Tragedy of Leisure" posits that an abundance of free timeâresulting from technological progress, AI, and declining birth ratesâoften leads to societal instability rather than contentment. The core argument is that humans are "wired for scarcity," and when the friction of survival is removed, we lack the temperament to use that "executive time" for self-cultivation. Instead, our stress thresholds drop, leading to "hair-trigger" outrage over minor inconveniences and a tendency for the mind to wander toward paranoia, conspiracy theories, and hyper-politicization.
This concept frames modern populism as a "luxury belief" born of ease rather than pain. While earlier generations were too occupied with labor to dwell on abstract societal grievances, the modern eraâs "gaping diary" allows for a focus on culture wars and identity politics. As labor-saving tech like AI continues to reduce work hours, the theory warns that we may face a future of increased political chaos unless we find productive ways to anchor the human psyche in a world without traditional toil.

If youâre feeling overwhelmed by the flood of AI views and counterviews (Citrini et al.), Iâd strongly recommend reading this.
Feb 23
If you are feeling any dissonance with the constant barrage of AI slop coming your way, remember 5 years ago they told you BTC would be $1M by now and that it would be normal for us to roam around with a $5000 clunky headset on our heads.
That's not to say that platform shifts aren't real - but each such shift brings along its share of FOMO merchants and grifters.
FOMO merchants will sell you FOMO 24/7 because their future wealth depends on you buying their version of the future completely. They sell their narrative as destiny. And the genius lies in making skepticism look like ignorance. Anyone who questions is a luddite - someone who "just doesn't get it". And no one wants to appear dumb in public. So the bubble gets stronger.
Then there are grifters - who don't understand the tech but want to ride along for the vibes. They swap bios and LI profiles quicker than you can say AI. They have the conference passes and the selfies and the jargon. They think proximity is participation and vocabulary is competence. They also think they have everyone fooled but in reality there's nothing more transparent.
It's OK to know and believe things are changing and prepare - but also have questions and leave some room for healthy skepticism. Cognitive dissonance is essential in these times.
I'd just run far away from anyone talking about this shift with certainty. No one knows, not even your heroes.
