The author seems to have mostly stumbled upon the old “time is money” adage. People today have much more money (or purchasing power) than pre industrial people. They have the same amount of time. There’s a big consequence to your behaviors whether you have more time, or more money. When you have more time, you backpack, take long buses and sleep in hostels. When you have more money than time you fly, use guided tours to do things quickly etc (all within your preferences of course) The author then goes through the problem with what another comment described as “completionist attitude”. That’s not necessarily a good way to live your life I reckon.
