An Extra’s POV

Chapter 553

When considering things logically, humans are often bound by emotion.

Feelings of lethargy, or mental fatigue—perhaps depression and other negative states—tend to get in the way of productivity.

Objectively, humans could function for twelve straight hours—being productive throughout, as long as they had the sustenance and the barest minimum of rest to keep them going.

Eight hours of sleep, then four hours embedded in chunks between the twelve hours of constant productive work. These four hours would include feeding, excretion, resting, and the likes.

Every day. All day. Humans could achieve so much if they dedicated twelve hours of their time to their task.

But… that is rarely the case with people.

How much smarter would the average student be if they constantly dedicated twelve hours to their studies for the years they spent in school?

But, more often than not… they do not do this.

How much more money would be made by the average man if he chose not to take time off work, or indulge in needless breaks?

They simply can not help this, however.

Because inbuilt within humans is the poison of emotion, that makes it impossible to be productive a hundred percent of the time.

There's always something that interferes with the constant stream of productivity. Positive or negative… they still interfere with the necessary activities.

Students engage in pointless discourse, play games, watch movies, and fret over those they cultivate feelings for.

Workers get burnout and mental fatigue, even if their physical self is in a perfect state, if they monotonously focus over a single task for too long.

These shackles of emotions, especially the more negative aspects, make them overall harmful to productivity.

As such, they ought to be culled.

To make the ideal person—one who would be perfectly aligned to their goals—useless feelings would need to be eliminated.

… Permanently.
