RE: Is Modern Society Obsessed With Short Term Pleasure?
The underlying fundamentals may remain the same, how exactly we derive pleasure and meaning may very well have to change. Forces of the mass are stronger than anything.
About addiction, I don't know how much I can accurately distill into typed text - writing is not my strong suit. There is simply less concern about the safe addict in a society with so much automation, universal basic income, isolation from dangers. - don't let this diminish the problems with addiction, I just do not view it as something that can be tackled head on.
I think I see what you are saying -i.e. people will have less responsibilities?
Yes in a way. Focus on providing help and stop wasting money "punishing" people who have damaged their pleasure systems.
Yes like more rehabilitation facilities. I think the war on drugs has been a massive waste of money not to mention a really destructive force in society.
I concur
