Stuff doesn't make us happy, people do. It's always been like that. If we spend less time with people, in person, we will be less happy.

Also nature. It's clinically proven that living your life surrounded by barren concrete fucks you up.

People like having pets and growing houseplants, just cuz, and both have been shown to do a lot of good, mentally. But we really should be bringing nature into our cities much more than we do right now.

I live near seattle. A friend who grew up in texas visited recently and he was shocked at how many trees were around in the city, and at how clean the air felt
