So we could do them more effectively. It is a mistake to see efficiency per se as a death-force. Sometimes it is progress, sometimes it isn't. You know what I mean. I think generally such innovations are a good thing.
Most people are tired of overworking and want to slow down anyway.
So I think we need to be cautious how we use this term. I guess the only thing that I would add at this point is that economic efficiency is not a value-loaded thing. It is simply a process, and it is entirely good. But, many things that aren't good get conflated with that term and poison people's ideas about it. You cite lots of good examples of this.
