We live in a society of constant consumption. This creates multiple problems:
-we consume bad inflammatory content that is designed to make you agitated and have no attention span
-it creates a habit of using this bad shit as a coping mechanism for the anxiety it produces - an anxiety producing pacifier
-you miss out on creating and thinking
-I always feel happier when I create more than I consume
-having a high sense of agency is cocorelafed with happiness - creating is part of that

“Serious play” like having a dog instead of a kid at first, or seeing yourself in VR as an old peeps instead of just facts about retirement - makes you save more
**Unteachable Lessons**
