Really appreciate your insightful comment Jonny and glad you enjoyed this essay! I also would've loved to learn about the hedonic treadmill way earlier on in life haha.

And I agree about that weapon/tool duality; it's why I love one of our recent Black Sheep essays on seeking a "middle way" perspective that can account for both the negative and positive of something rather than insisting something like capitalism is all bad or good with no implications even to consider (https://www.wetheblacksheep.com/p/centered-not-centrist-the-middle).

I love a good (constructive) manifesto! Comment back with a link so anyone else interested can check it out too!
