I really like the overall point of the article, yet, I think that what some people mean by "pleasure" is not necessarily what true pleasure is. Described things (doom scrolling, carry out as a substitute of real home cooked food, etc.) is not really a pleasure of any kind. It's more of an anesthesia to internal emptiness. Examples of true pleasure are what is being put away here: creative projects, books, hikes... Yes I know arguing over definitions is sinful but here I am.
Everyone needs to read this…well done.

I think you meant “former shells” instead of shelves…
