> Living a real, physical life outside the home is good because humans need friction. Convenience is alluring but it is dangerous, because getting used to it means forgetting that being alive isn’t meant to always be easy. We should run our errands in person and queue at the Post Office and eat in restaurants because it is good to remember that sometimes we have to wait around, or go to several shops because the first one didn’t have what we needed. Resilience is one of the most important traits a person can and should develop, and it works like a muscle.

I really don't like the author's argument. We should force ourselves to do things in person because it's uncomfortable?

Life is already uncomfortable enough! The world is melting down, societies are unhappy and restless, economies are failing, the climate is worsening, people are hateful and full of extremist thought. Life is hard enough.

Let me do as much as I can from home (which I rent, btw, because owning a home is an impossible dream for many), the single respite I have from the painful world!
