    I love that you know h-g culture. They are so instructive of our weaknesses. I will definitely be buying the book. It looks like you have done the analysis I wished I could do. Good luck.

    Would you think this could be a factor, in that we have too much information at our fingertips? I feel as if the bliss of not knowing too much and only focusing your eye on your daily tasks and needs would be positive for your mental health.

      Oh, definitely! I think this is a huge part of it.
