Tristan said:
“I think we are victims of our own success in tool making. We’ve created technologies which are not just very effective but quite alluring and possibly addictive.”
“Almost all of what we would consider the interesting aspects of life could be considered unnecessary. So necessity and interest are not the same at all… It’s more about what we find philosophically and physically rewarding.”
