    It's incredibly sad that some people are so brainwashed that they actually WANT to make their life as joyless as possible.

      It's wild that it's intentional. Like I've found myself "optimizing" myself to a more joyless life, but only because I didn't a realize that the longer route to school was more enjoyable, or that being alone with my thoughts while doing laundry felt better than using that time to do work. Like I always expect people who optimize their time into misery aren't accounting that some wasted time can be psychologically beneficial, I hadn't considered people are literally slicing off time that's normally booked for hobbies or entertainment.
