well structured so far!

- making machines that help reduce inconvenience has inevitably made us raise our standards in what we want to achieve out of efficiency (e.g dishwashers and laundry machines made to reduce labor for women in the house, now we’re obsessing over getting the stain completely out of the shirt)

- our daily inconveniences are what makes life more rich

- crowdedness vs having a space for solitude. (having a healthy distance between neighbors in which you could retreat easily but still bump into each other game people a sense of community)

- lower commute times lead to increased perceived satisfaction of life
- being closer to fauna leads to perceived closeness to neighbours and less crime
