Well, this is the defining trend of our technological progress. People getting what they want makes them unhappy in the long, multigenerational term.

We innovate because we like being comfortable. We don’t want to tend to a fire constantly to be warm. We don’t want to depend on the randomness of hunting/foraging to have a full belly. We don’t want to take days and days of travel to go a few towns over. We don’t want to have to deal with people we don’t know because that’s anxiety inducing.

So we invent all those things that means many modern humans can just stay comfy, warm and fed at home with all their basic needs met without having to go through all this discomfort.

The problem now is that we’re all unhealthy, lonely, feel purposeless (and to top it all the planet is on fire).
