I appreciate the balanced perspective you brought to the table. Modern life is fantastic in so many ways. This post hits so close though because despite the reality most of us yearn for something more. Not wealth per say; freedom to work to live vs most seemingly living to work. The vast imbalance is horrible and most of us aren't having the best time. Says a comfortable software engineer who is is doing... OK but seriously as a society we should have figured out some semblance of proper balance by now.
I think something like the idea of the consensus engine would greatly help us if it could be built. It's not a magic bullet but it would provide so many avenues for not making things worse
