Love this. Love how you describe how easily we're taken in by new things. The latest. The greatest. We go for it without thinking of the repercussions. I'm sure guilty.

It's so true! I was thinking about how back then, when many things were still done by hand, automation was appealing. But today, now that so many things are automated and done by AI, we're yearning for the handmade. It's always the opposite of what we have.
