Yeah your right. I agree with you on a lot of your pointers. Even when someone is working they could have thoughts that are not really logical because they are overthinkers and it disrupts their work performance.

Not everyone is born with the same intellect, same mental health, and there are tons of humans in our world who overthink the little things you know. They end up having bad thoughts about incidences they went through that they regret later on in their life cause they didn't get help or because that "help" didn't work for them(ECT, TMS, therapy, meds, ect for example) .

What causes the mass degradation, alcoholism and suicide and even more terrible things like you described isn't only about people having more free time, it is their brain chemistry, and more. Hopefully people in the neuro field can tackle the challenges we mentioned soon.

A model of a well desired future for me is being able to be immersed into reading books, being able to be immersed into watching movies, have fun writing papers and maybe a thesis, learning a new language, being great at sports and more. Unfortunately, I don't have the mindset or attention span to do any of the above which sucks. I hope I can live to see this future one day. One can only wish...
