Efficiency is the tool by which we can maximize our living experience. If you would rather have more time to rest than make more money in the workplace, you are being more efficient by taking the time to rest assuming that your end goal is your own pleasure. Striving for efficiency in one's life is not the same thing as striving for maximum output of services or products.

Hahahaha! Spoken by someone who's clearly maximizing his living experience. By the way, aren't you the one who said that experience means nothing? Ah, but I digress.
Helm and the new guy make much sense in their statements. Ultimately, I think there's a trade-off for everything. When you have a shitload of leisure time, you tend to grow bored, restless, and dissatisfied. Life can often seem pointless when computers and pills do everything for you. We all work jobs we hate because they're a paycheck and they're something to do between weekends. And we can't wait to get off work, so we can go get loaded in a bar, or nuke a Lean Cuisine and sit on our asses, watching washed-up celebrities degrade themselves on
The Surreal Life. By becoming more and more efficient, we are, to an extent, rendering ourselves meaningless.
