I bet $1,000 that people became more bored after 1800s while before the IR there was no time to be bored, meaning only rich people got bored mostly. Legit question: did people sleep more during ancient times, since they did not have lights and electricity and there was less to do, no doom scrolling for example?
It was James Watt's Invention of the Steam Engine. A 500 times increase in the Power output for the whole country. From 20,000 Waterwheels in 1800 to 10,000,000 Steam Engines in 1900 !!!
It strikes me that your comparison of humans with animals in economy prior to 1800 as similar or identical is really far-fetched. How can you say such a thing. Humans and animals became different from each other when humans started to make changes in nature - make tools, fire etc which made a big difference.
This is a fantastic lecture, thank you kindly for recording and uploading.
