That is very subjective.
May I ask, what in a good life can not be classified as another distraction? Or are only human activities that someone from 1000 years ago can do pass the purity test?
- II2II 6y agoPerhaps a good life can be defined in terms of a lack of distraction. That does not mean we should value activities from 1000 years ago more. For some it may mean quite the opposite since they are no longer distracted by the struggle to fulfill basic needs so pursuing the benefits of modernity is possible. For others, it may mean ignoring the distractions of modernity while seeking the purity of the past. The problem with the current trajectory of technology is that it seeks to strip us of autonomy. We are usually presented with means of consumption, rather than courses of action. I suspect that is what people mean when they discuss distraction.
- Aperocky 6y agoWhat distraction means here is still unclear. I for one would much rather fill my life with pleasant distractions, instead of a Spartan utopian lifestyle that some other people tries to sell me as 'good life'.
