To be clear, not saying it is easy and I'm not saying that there is no trend. Screen time has gone up, obesity has gone up, neuroticism has gone up
Im not convinced that money is the solution to addiction and just a few more purchases away. In fact, I think rampant consumerism and trained helplessness are the crux of the problem.
It’s odd to think it reasonable to consider a solution to self inflicted addictions is drugs.
When I say self inflicted, I mean our society. I do think it’s unfortunate (and very unfair) that we have to expend so much energy not to be addicted. It’s such a sad outcome and driven by capitalistic consumerism.
I have a lot of concern for my kids. And I’m disgusted that grown adults are profiting from all of it.
