>Working 10 to 12 hours straight with only one or two half an hour breaks is no goal one should thrive for. Neither working 80 hours a week.

I work on the thing I love & care deeply about (newscience.org) and I'm most happy when I work 10, 12, 16 hours straight, 60, 80, 100 hours a week.

What wrong with that?

There's a difference between willingly working 80 hours on your own creation vs. begrudgingly working 80 hours on someone else's creation.

Nothing, when it's your own choice.

Everything when it isn't. Or when you're making others do it for you.

The difference is spending time on your hobby or passion project, vs. being employed by a dictator.

Nothing is wrong with that. Many, maybe most, people don't work on things they love and care deeply about so the idea of working 10+ hours straight sounds awful.

Nothing. And don’t let people who’ve never worked hard tell you their opinions on what it’s doing to you.
