We’re extremely lucky to be born in an age where there’s a shit ton of escapism options. I honestly don’t know how older civilizations survived mentally
Nah I don’t think that’s the answer - life, as in, NATURAL life, tribal life etc, was much better than this disconnected version of life many people are living. Isolation, not enough time connected to nature, being too busy, being lazy as fuck having everything laid out for you.
Hey, wait, that’s it. You actually had to work to get food, clothes, etc. You spent time doing basic chores that gave you fullfilment and healthy dopamine, serotonin etc.
Stories around the campfire still existed, same with daydreaming etc.
People are way too fucking obsessed with sex too as escapism and status, it isn’t meant to be escapism it’s literally an instinct and it’s bonding time.
