Sometimes I think the Amish and Mennonites are better off that the rest of us cause they can enjoy a simple life. A lot of them seem happy and there is very low crime and violence . I like all the technology but if you never had it you can't miss it. Thoughts?
Simple equals boring, in this case.
Wake up, work all day, six days a week, taking hours to do a job by hand that could be done with tools in minutes, and the the rest of your time before sleep, and Sundays are spent in prayer.
The only thing I can imagine that could possibly be worse is the christian idea of heaven; sitting around on a pink cloud, strumming a harp for eternity. Yuck.
The Amish have been busted for running puppy mills, they lack modern dentistry.
:-(
I know a few Mennonites, they are judgemental and not allowed to dance. I've never met any Amish people. But I have met Quakers. I like Quakers.
Yes and no. Productivity cannot be separated from the context in which it takes place. Productivity that expands the human soul is the kind which matters the most.

I disagree. Your assessment of productivity is degenerate.
Masturbation results in product, but is in no way virtuous.
It satisfies your desires so you can move on to better things. If you never masturbated, sex would dominate your thoughts and you would eventually stick your dick into somebody's butt like Catholic priests do.
I don't know about that. I've jerked off twice today and I still haven't really produced anything, other than poop and some phlegm here and there (I have allergies).
I rather think napping is the highest virtue, personally. I view productivity as something that must occur if I am to get a good night's sleep.
If you have that poor of impulse control, your genitals should be surgically removed anyways.
