Isn't most of this covered in black mirror already? Also - what we really need now is a good curriculum on how to assess happiness outside of values that are easy to measure and capture. Am I happy is a question I'm asking myself a lot. But there's no answer - because I think anyone who isn't in pain or material poverty can credibly be happy. So maybe happiness is relational and relative with no absolute way of measuring it.
An excellent piece, thank you!
If we could all just cultivate a little more awareness of how we pay attention to this beautiful world.
Love this one Trung a lot of gems in here

Great piece Trung! Hopefully I'm giving you the external validation in the form of value that you need that aligns with your core curiosity lol.

I forgot to say: great post. Thanks.
