In our technologically advanced societies, this drive has escalated to an unprecedented degree. We optimise our environments for minimal friction, our routines for maximum predictability, and our interactions for effortless gratification. The consequence is a widespread atrophy of our mental and physical faculties that slowly corrodes our capacity for genuine we
