Quick Answer
For search, voice, and "just tell me what to do".
For the past two decades, “hustle” has been sold as a moral code, not just a work style. If you weren’t grinding, you weren’t serious. If you weren’t exhausted, you weren’t committed. Hustle became a virtue signal: proof that you deserved success.
Key Takeaways:
- Time = effort
- Effort = virtue
- Therefore, more time worked = more virtue (and more success)
- A sense of control: *If I just work harder, I’ll win.*
- A moral frame: *If I’m exhausted, I’m a good person.*
