I disagree. Human beings are social creatures. Happiness primarily comes from healthy interpersonal relationships, not marriage/prison. In isolation, only the insane are happy. You can downvote and try to replace all human interaction with the screens, hate, and pets, but I can see right through your BS because I’ve been there. Tell me sex isn’t important. Maybe you’re content and you keep yourself distracted by being a workaholic and BSing with the people that are paid to be around you, but that facade and those relationships end the day your employment does. The sad truth is that before the screens, people entertained each other. Now we’re addicted to the screens. Everyone seems to think happiness is on the other side of one. People are convincing themselves that they don’t even need other people… Just need their next fix of screen time. The people on the screens have got us afraid of each other while the crime rate is at an all time low. Got us more likely to fight our neighbors than the people that are robbing us. And taters suck, nutritionally speaking, but I’m content with 'em as long as it’s 25% cheese.

Using closed source software is literally like giving away access to your computer in hope that your computer may be used in a way you’d prefer… The software economy is the only reason I don’t create software. The customer is rarely the user.

Best you can do is be funner and sexier than anyone else your partner might be around. Never understood why that’s so hard for some people.
A lot of people are happy enough inside their comfort zone, they’re likely to die there. The people that say they haven’t made good music since the XX’s probably haven’t spent much time searching for music they’d like.
