very well articuled. i think the modern impulse to make everything instantaneous is tied intricately to capitalism - the capitalistic goal to optimize every moment of the working class to contribute to the growth of society (which in reality is inflating shareholder value). we are meant to have no time for ourselves, trapped in a quicksand of optimizing productivity to obtain more free time, which we never succeed at anyway. reply fast, receive fast, consume mindlessly - and use the time saved to be more productive. We live under the guise that this time saved is time we get to reclaim for ourselves, but capitalism has turned that into a sweet lullaby to soothe ourselves with while subscribing to the same habits that only benefits the system.

Well written 🔥
Well said. Too many people are in a rush, and that's how accidents happen. Hast makes wast.
