Emotional Processing and Modern Life
- Modern society struggles with emotional processing due to constant distractions and lack of idle time.
- This contrasts with our ancestors, who had ample time for subconscious processing during rote tasks.

- Communal living limited conflict scope, unlike today's widespread digital negativity.
- Idle time during rote tasks and post-conflict activities facilitated emotional processing.

- Each negative experience chips away at us, as we lack time to process emotions and turn to distractions.
- This leads to surface-level emotional management like venting, not deep processing.
