Holotopia: The Convenience Paradox insight
Scope
The Renaissance liberated our ancestors from a religious dogma, and empowered them to seek and experience the joy of living here and now. The lifestyle changed, and the arts blossomed. Could a similar advent be in store for us today?
We use knowledge to illuminate what has remained obscure: the way our own inner condition and our cultural and natural environments influence the way we feel, and our very ability to feel; and how our handling changes those conditions—in the long run.
Insight
Surprisingly often, the pursuit of convenience—understood here generally as reaching out toward what feels pleasant or attractive—leads to a less convenient condition. The way to happiness must be illuminated by suitable information.
