Good cautionary essay here Sam. 👏

I believe most of us are designed to conserve energy and resources for future periods of lack/want. There is survival value to that. But the convenience industry hijacks that program by taking away effortful muscle work, and soon even mental/cognitive work (i.e. thinking). Weaker and dumber we will become. What could possibly go wrong?! 😖

Thank you for the mention in this fantastic and well-thought-out post!

“Do you really want to be known as someone who takes the easy way out?”

No I don’t! And I don’t think most people do. But they don’t think it through and realize the truth of the situation. We need to keep talking about this stuff, and hopefully spark curiosity and conversations.
