Industrial side-effects

The disease of more is a side-effect of industrialism and consumerism. You can listen to plenty of podcasts and watch plenty of Tic Toc videos of someone who says they found meaning in being more efficient than the rest of us. We created a whole industry called “self-help” to cope with the world of corporations. Another fad diet or app to help you become more efficient to keep up with the constant speed. Decision-making is faster than ever because of the speed of information and communication. It has worn us down. So much so people are just sick of making another decision. How do we make hard decisions if we are inundated with a constant stream of easy ones? We must start saying no to every email, every text, every phone call, every problem, and every emergency. Instead, we start saying Yes to the possibility of our chosen projects. The path to finding meaning again is embracing of less inefficiencies and, yes, profits. Enough can simply be enough to go do the next thing.
