CHAPTER

The Multipolar Trap of Progress

The Sabbath is an example of law binding a multipolar trap associated with a naive version of progress. If you don't have a Sabbath, some people will work seven days a week in the short term before they burn out and get ahead. And now you have a world where no one spends any time with their kids. No one reflects on the religion. Nobody enjoys their life. Everything sucks for everyone because somebody did that thing in the name of progress because they moved ahead faster. That would be an example of the way religions were supposed to have something like wisdom that created something like law and restraint to buy naive versions of progress.
