> Second, why are we rushing everywhere? Why can't we just take it slow? I assign _zero_ value to walking between the train and my house. When I get home I can play video games / make food / read a book / play music / whatever. Every minute spent commuting is a minute of enjoyment lost vOv |

I see value, if you can call it that, in the off periods. That in having gaps, it make both the on and the off times better. Silence makes the music better. Hunger makes the food oh so much more enjoyable. That having the gaps is what makes it all so good.
Where as, chasing the hedonistic treadmill means you have to keep upping the engagement just to stay in place. To me, life is kind of like holding a wet bar of soap, you have to be gentle and nurse it, as if you try to hold on tight it will just slip out of your hands.
