This really resonated with me becuz I've noticed how easy it is to ignore the hidden costs of comfort. The sweatshop comparison is spot-on about how we compartmentalize suffering to enjoy cheap goods without feeling guilty. I worked breifly in supply chain and saw firsthand how companies deliberately obscure the production conditions to maintain that psychological distance.
Yeah... hopefully future generations will see this for the obvious immorality it is, like we now do we with slavery, but I think too many people are too happy with the results for anything to change in the short term
