The more comfortable a society is the easier it is to ignore pillars of life.

A corollary is "the richer the fool, the greater the acceleration of the universe's entropy (to include their body, health and a shorter life)."

There are a number health effects no amount of pills or surgery can reverse because entropy, despite marketing. Eat enough peanut-butter bacon sandwiches and cause enough chronic inflammation damage from smoking, then become obese, get diabetes and cancer.

There are also, I believe, higher layers of health. Societal, existential; that this society tries to shield us from. Like not playing guitar because it might hurt your fingers. Often I read that there's everything to be as happy as you can on the ground, but we lock ourselves into to sweet nests.

The what?

Things that are important if you don't have modern technology to fix you.
