Society is always adding more, whereas freedom for me comes from subtracting enough of the excess to see the beauty all around.
It’s as if in each individual’s pursuit for meaning it’s too hard to look at the arbitrariness, and so instead we pursue infinite things to fill a bottomless hole.
In this context, Capitalism is an enabler of distraction, rewarding us with “more” for going further from the core of life.
Once everyone has available to them a base of automation and an excess of excess, I hope society can awaken from the “more-disease” that is blinding us.
