Yeah I'm with you that late stage capitalism is pretty problematic, if it's even considered capitalism at this point.
Time being the gatekeeper though is a very astute point though and can feed into the whole idea of creating more work for yourself. It creates additional steps beyond the obvious ones that get you to doing whatever it is you are trying to achieve.
That also sounds like a good strategy too Johnathon. I'm familiar with One Piece and the franchise as a whole could be good overall for getting exercises in. One suggestion I'll make though is after those exercises start to become too easy, consider mixing it up a little. I know online there are particular "video game training routines" you can look up which show off quick and simple exercises. Those too probably would take as long as those short exercises you're doing already.
