The name of the cult itself [says a lot about it](name_is_important.md). While a name such as *efficiency* would probably be better, as efficiency means doing less work with the same result and therefore having more free time, it is not a surprise that capitalism has chosen the word *productivity*, i.e. producing more which means working more, e.g. for the price of free time and mental health.
Productivity obsessed people are idiots, they have desktops with "motivational" wallpapers saying shit like "the word impossible doesn't exist in my dictionary" and when you tell them if it wouldn't be better to rather establish a society where people wouldn't have to work they start screeching "THAT IMPOSSIBLE IT CANT WORK". It's funny that many people who despise the cult of extreme [consooming](consumerism.md) subscribe to the cult of extreme producing.
Productivity obsessed people are idiots, they have desktops with "[motivational](motivation.md)" wallpapers saying shit like "the word impossible doesn't exist in my dictionary" and when you tell them if it wouldn't be better to rather establish a society where people wouldn't have to work they start screeching "THAT IMPOSSIBLE IT CANT WORK". It's funny that many people who despise the cult of extreme [consooming](consumerism.md) subscribe to the cult of extreme producing.
Productivity freaks are often the ones who despise consumers, i.e. brainless machines that consume goods, but somehow don't seem to mind being producers, a similar kind of brainless machine that just stands on the other end of this retarded system.
One of the funniest examples of productivity cult gone too far is so called "[life couching](life_couching.md)" in which the aspiring producer robots hire bullshit cult leaders, so called "life couches", to shout at them to be more productive. At least in the past slaves were aware of being slaves and tried to free themselves. I literally want to [kill myself](suicide.md).
Productivity is such a big deal because **programmers are in fact actually getting exponentially less productive** due to time needed to spend on [bullshit](bullshit.md) nowadays, on overcomplicated buggy [bloat](bloat.md) and billions of frameworks needed to get basic things done -- this has been pointed out by [Jonathan Blow](jonathan_blow.md) in his talk *Preventing the Collapse of Civilization* in which he refers to the video of [Ken Thompson](ken_thompson.md) talking about how he developed the [Unix](unix.md) operating system in **three weeks**.
A considerable number of people are attracted to [suckless](suckless.md) software due to its positive effects on productivity thanks to the elimination of bullshit. These are mostly the kind of above mentioned dumbasses who just try to exploit anything they encounter for [self interest](self_interest.md) without ever aiming for greater good, they don't care about Unix philosophy beyond its effects on increasing their salary. Beware of them, they poison society.
