Itâs not immoral to want relief from being too slow, scared, and fatâtoo disappointing to your commanders. But chasing relief with speed could set you up for brain damage and psychosis. Worse, under the guise of fraud liberation, it locks you into life-draining repetition. You think youâre being gloriously âproductiveââeven if what youâre producing is expense reports and Fortnite killsâwithout noticing that youâre missing the reasons for being: food, books, reflection, reform, engagement, adventure, rest, and meaningful work.
I can relate to this sentiment that our societyâs views on âproductivityâ are pretty messed up. I feel like Iâm constantly looking for ways to slow down my life.
