@grimalkina If I dig into that more, I think of the fundamental shift for me was actually not a coming of age (although that played a big part), But rather it was going from having no agency to having sufficient agency to where I want to (and can) intentionally seek out fulfillment
So, now that I have that agency, I take steps in order to minimize use of things that remove agency from my life. But I see people that still use tech for escapism having that lack of agency; I think it's related?
