Great perspective and well put: intellectual laziness. We've been chasing that for many decades in the name of 'convenience'. And cash, of course.

Thanks, Monica. To be fair, 'Cash and Convenience' sounds like a great band name.

I think it's not an unreasonable impulse to want those things (hell, I want those things), but up to what point? When you begin to chase cash and convenience at the exclusion or detriment of others (creativity? compassion? curiosity?) is when - imo - the problems begin.

Definitely feeling like we’re on our way to WALL-E....

And I liked that new section on stuff you’re reading. I’ve bookmarked a bunch. 👍🏼

I bet soon one of the tech companies will start selling levitating chairs...
