Interesting.

But the pre-existing variance in people's productivity is already an order of magnitude or more. A 50% bump might be significant, but it's hard to imagine it would be society-changing.

Well, it's actually a 100% bump, right?

'Sleeper': 8 hours working, 8 hours taking care of life (eating, etc), 8 hours sleeping.

'Sleepless': 16 hours working, 8 hours taking care of life.

I agree with your point though: focus, environment, and pre-existing advantage probably cause far more variation in productivity than 100%.

I was going to bring this up. It's an interesting exploration of how the world might react to people who are inherently 50% more productive for having that much more time to work with.

Great book / series
