Much appreciation for this post. I’m in agreement with much of what you say here. I also have a lot of curiosity surrounding your take on the “pleasure trap” and the idea that “If we spend time and pay attention on pleasure and enjoyment, that's what will increase, and not our capacity for quality deeper thinking to resolve our collective condition.” I posted a friendly rebuttal to that idea and also my perspective on quality thought and use of time if you want to check it out (link below).
Regardless, looking forward to the pleasure trap post, and thanks again for the thought-provoking piece. :)
