Andrew, I know I'm two months late, but thanks for this. It has made me rethink some of my own thoughts on the four day workweek (feel free to absolutely ignore this, but I wrote about it here: https://thinkingahead.substack.com/p/rethinking-the-future-of-work-3). The one thing I'd note is that the loneliness epidemic is not borne out by all data. (e.g.: https://ourworldindata.org/loneliness-epidemic). Not that I deny that loneliness is a major societal problem (it absolutely is), just a data nugget.
