Your Lifestyle Has Already Been Designed (comment)

I agree that we live in a society that leaves us wanting more because my life experience confirms it. In David Cane's view "We've been led into a culture that has been engineered to leave us tired, hiugnry for indulgence, willing to pay a lot for convenience and entertainment, and most importantly, vaguely dissatisfied with our lives so that we continue wanting things we don't have. We buy so much because it always seems like something is still missing." In other words, Cane believes that the society we live in makes people spend money on things we don't need and value materialist things. When we should spend our time enjoying life, and on things that bring meaning to our lives.
