Nice reflections. There is a lot of merit in this, and I think we all know it, like you say. But to be sober though, then yeah, I mean, of course this sense of urgency is prevailing these days. Because
A) We are spoon-fed content 24⁄7 with artifical urgency
B) To maintain current living standards, especially financial security, you have to increase effort over time, now more than ever.
C) There are, real, major urgencies globally now, and we hear about them live. Not the ever-prevailing disasters and local conflicts, but apocalyptic threats.
How do you escape that? Not by low effort, that’s for sure.
Edit: Not sure what’s wrong with my comment but sorry if I offended anyone reading it somehow! Is there a style rule I am missing? Anyway, back to the matrix...
