Thanks Lucas!
You're exactly right, we can now change our state of consciousness very easily with a device. Due to the neurochemicals in our brain, technology can provide us with the same satisfaction of fulfillment as achieving a long-term goal all without leaving our seat.
The reason we’re never satisfied with this sort of behaviour is because we do it out of impulse and addiction rather than from a place of what we actually want. The body literately becomes dependent on the rush of push notifications and other distracting stimuli. Thus, the behaviour is driven by the subconscious, rather the conscious mind. It’s a very vicious cycle.
