A couple years ago I moved to the mountains with my family and cutback on mindless tech consumption (social media, Netflix) and started reading more books and working out (power rack in my garage). I feel my IQ has gone up a few points and I’m more in control over my behavior/emotions but my anxiety is worse. I’m plagued by my thoughts of the shortness of time and the temporary relationship I’ll have with my children. I think it’s a natural part of the human condition and people escape for a reason. Historically, religion remedied that in a lot of ways, which is why it was called “opium of the masses”. People need a worldview-framework to overwrite their base firmware.
