Random thought:
I saw an ad that highlighted the new 'Breathe' app on Apple Watch.
My immediate reaction is: Neat. Baking in Zen/Mindfulness into technology seems like a fun little Silicon Valley idea.
It occurred to me, though, that a much more cynical POV is that as the wealth gap continues to widen and the 'working class' continues to get leveraged for more and more productivity for less and less pay, this is an interesting way for the powers that be to give the peons a false sense of control and serenity so they can continue to survive the inhuman monotony and pressure on their lives.
Or maybe I'm overthinking it
