And there are hundreds of other necessary activities that aren’t listed here. What is your point? The point of the post is that this person (and many others) feel overburdened by the pressures and requirements of modern society. Pointing out that the specific chore of vacuuming doesn’t have to happen every day isn’t astute.
If that’s true, which I question very much as the pressures of modern society are significantly more encompassing than in the past, that only means we’ve been doing it wrong the whole time.
But, I don’t know, maybe I’m wrong. Maybe we need another study about how we’re all actually more productive when we’re required to be at work for fewer hours.
You don’t need to buy food every day, or do laundry, or hoover, clean/tidy. Meditating is not for everyone and for some people even socialising is not a daily necessity.
Cook and wash up 3x daily - this is also crazy. If it is supposedly a workday, you won’t be home for lunch. And you don’t want to or have to cook every time you’re home, and for the dishes, there exist dishwashers (if you don’t have one, make sure you get one, this is the single best thing that happened to us if we talk about chores. We had a 12+people party yesterday, and it only took 2 runs to not think about dishes, over than 30mins for putting them into the washer).
Half the things you don’t need to do daily.

The whole comment would fit into literally any time period.

You’re right! Why should we try to fix it now?
Which half?
Work.

Even then, you can socialize during a lot of this, too. Cook with friends. Have community meals. Socialize with coworkers. Etc.
