[Closed] Idealism, consumerism, modern life

[videoJust watched this video, it's a bit American but I like the gist of it. I am in the process of streamlining my life and living with less, I am making an effort to keep my phone in my pocket not in my hand, and to put it in a different room when I have company at home. I am looking at options that require me to earn less to maintain a happy lifestyle and travel more and experience more. Sometimes I look around me in despair, people being zombies, cyclists being hassled, rudeness, obsession, waste... A couple of threads stand out to me, the how much do you spend on your bike and my own thread about my van that rilled someone up enough to complain about the name of my old van, petty, silly nonsense that when we also have so much real bad stuff going on in the real world. Can we change? For Jenn, for everyone who has bigger things on their minds, for people in real need, desperation and pain. Can we start living life again outside our bubbles? I realise as a big group of people who like to be outside riding bikes we are not the worst offenders, but we are all guilty.
