I love waiting for an install, something in the mail, water to boil, etc. It’s a good time to slow down and reflect on anything else. I don’t want things now. I just want. Once I’m satisfied...the journey is over. People are so concerned with self optimizing time or the perfect experience that they forget you don’t have to hurry.

Having said that, in modern society you can have it all, but can you consume it all? Why would you want to?



Also that ad devolves into mostly non-sense, the whole middle section. You can't play at half those places on those screens.
