If I put limits on myself I find they aren't sustainable--they don't last, because it is the restrict and binge cycle. We can collectively decided what is enough, I guess, so then hopefully it wouldn't occur as a restriction but actually like a desired choice. We would have to decide how much technology is enough--like how you were saying being okay with paper maps and such. But humans are creative creatures, and I don't want to limit creativity. For all the people out there who feel like technology is their creative medium--will they be content to stop at iphone 14 or will their nagging desire to create more technology drive them to making the iphone 15, 16, 112? How do you think we can happily and fullfillingly express our inherent creativity while also living within enoughness?

Wonderful question! Does creativity have to mean consumption? Or is that how creativity is expressed in capitalism?
Hmm… I will think on that.
