I completely agree, we are prey to the process triggered by technologies which distracts us from the actual values of our life. We waste time looking for the golden lights of the technological drug without being aware of the possibility of the darkness of the night. Personally I take everything off when I paint and look for solitary trips like in my holidays, but I am a privileged one.
A lot of people are under the mistaken belief that being connected and consuming more, makes them more creative. It is a lie - part of the conditioning.
Exactly so any intellectual or creative operation requires long introspective moments to elaborate a process where the part of humanity is decisive.
