    If they made a mechanical watch that could control my podcasts and show me notifications without me taking my phone out of my pocket, I’d buy it.

      Sometimes you have to kobayashi maru things in life.

      Part of being a conscious consumer is having the willpower to forgo convience for something bigger.

      Unfortunately, we are in hyper simulated/consumerist society, so I really only see this trend getting exacerbated until some global calamity happening.
