We use so much tech to optimize our lives and save time

All that free time, what are we even doing with it?

Rarely truly resting. Always on alert. Always stressed.

I find that I experience a different type of satisfaction when I use older tools in my farm. That exhaustion feels rewarding. I think we were meant to engage more of our senses, to be creative. But not everyone has that space nor means.

But also, I think our lives, standardized, are always about doing something and we learn to feel unimportant if we aren't active.

We are stuck in these routines so long that when we take a break, we feel worthless and we can't enjoy our own company without all the guilt and depressive thinking.

Perhaps it is because when we use too much tech , someone else built, deep down we feel like we have accomplished nothing of our own, despite of spending countless hours busy.

The guilt ends up seeping in our bit of free time and we waste it being here arguing with hypiejoe.

You are pretty perceptive here, modernity indeed minimalizes our self esteem, for me however it's different, at least i think so, it was all over long ago and with the things i can do now, i can please myself mentally, for example today i am getting plastered and being more active here, i don't think i necessarily will be a buffoon, it opens up my conversational skills a little is all, and then i feel i have partook in a world which isn't the actual world i've said uh uh to by my louder than words actions.
