The cultural conditioning point is the sharpest part. We've built entire industries around managing symptoms instead of diagnosing problems. Feeling anxious? Here's an app. Can't focus? Here's a pill. Company culture toxic? Here's a pizza party. Nobody asks why because that requires effort and effort doesn't scale.
Exactly. People want convenience, so they push their message out to millions who don't care - ignoring the people who do.
Sadly I kinda resembled that for a while. Maybe I still do some, maybe.
I reckon many of us have. I have likely been that way also, but I try to avoid it now. Not sure how successfully.
