Beautiful writing Sam. Good to see you posting again up here.

I'm reminded of the book Shop Class as Soulcraft, by Matthew Crawford, who talks about how we've become so disconnected with the world around us because we barely understand how any of it works. This quote I think relates well to your piece:

"There seems to be an ideology of freedom at the heart of consumerist material culture; a promise to disburden us of mental and bodily involvement with our own stuff so we can pursue ends we have freely chosen. Yet this disburdening gives us fewer occasions for the experience of direct responsibility."
