A life of chemicals, to extend your productivity and to extract what it can from you. A life looking for distractions, when the meaning was there. In the woods. In the plains. In the mountains, the valleys, in a natural garden of eden. We traded it all and all we got was a clock to make us all slaves.
I’m not a primitivist, but you’re also not wrong. For my part, I wish we could just make a better trade. We don’t need all the toys — just the ones that directly impact our flourishing.
