    Here’s a question, do you think it’s mentally healthy to have every facet of human existence endlessly analyzed by millions of people hoping to encounter a topic that will make them wealthy and famous and renowned for their brilliance?

    Do you think that it’s a good thing that every aspect of your life is crammed with clickbait talking points?

    Do you think that humans should be wheedled into the grave by inane topics like this?

    Capitalism hijacked it immediately and caused issues with the normally anti-capitalism hippies who often lead mindfulness and meditation sessions and retreats. Some refusing to apply it to capitalistic endeavors, some saying it was a harm reduction mechanism for those who were already forced to work. That was almost a decade ago.
