  there’s no trust in my statement. The incentives to increase work hours already exist, even if it’s not snake oil, this tech won’t change that. A work hour is a work hour regardless if the worker is sitting down or in a lucid dream.

    In the US not long ago, families were thriving on a single income. And then some families sent two parents to work and saw large relative benefits. As more families did this, the relative benefit lowered. Employers found they could pay people less and the family would make up the gap with two incomes. Today, many families struggle with two incomes.

    This is a technology that is again, a potential way to double your income if you can work while you sleep and awake. The people who use it will see a relative benefit. Until it becomes necessary for everyone to work while sleeping.

    So if it holds true that they just count as work hours, most people will eventually be required to double their workload to afford their necessities.
