Sorry I am late to the post Victor, but this is another insightful, well written and thought provoking piece. You won’t be surprised to hear that I particularly resonate with your discussion of the human condition as a root cause and the “heavy dose of perpetual dissatisfaction” we all feel. Ahhh, there’s a (the) problem to be fixed. I have some ideas…lol.
Does that suggest that the problem is with(in) each of us? And maybe, more broadly, whether that problem is a feature rather than a bug of our human nature? All of which is to say, I have no idea what I’m talking about.
Regardless, keep writing. You have the talent and mind for it.
Haha I'd say you know quite a bit of what you're talking about...I agree it's a (the) problem to solve. I think whether the dissatisfaction is a feature or bug of human nature is a great question. My sense is that it's a feature, and can be useful in a lot of ways (staying safe, fed, sheltered, etc...satisfying base needs), but in many more ways of modern living, it's really not useful at all. I'm not surprised you have ideas though and would love to chat about them. Thanks as always for reading and commenting!
