SOCIETY: THE BIGGEST ADDICTION

Why Modern Living Hijacks Human Instincts — And Why Most Addictions Aren’t What You Think

If you ask most people what the biggest addiction in the world is, they’ll point to drugs. Alcohol. Social media. Porn. Food. Entertainment. Dopamine.

They’ll list the symptoms. They’ll list the coping mechanisms. They’ll list the things that finally break people.

But almost no one talks about the system that creates the need to cope in the first place.

The biggest addiction in the world—the one that quietly feeds all the others—is modern society itself.

And the reason we don’t talk about it is simple:

Everyone is addicted to it.

LIVING UNENCUMBERED: WHAT “HOME” ACTUALLY MEANS

Most people think a home is a building. Four walls. A fixed address. A mortgage or a lease.

But a home is really something else.

A home is shelter, safety, rest, food, continuity — and a place where your nervous system can finally relax. Once you understand that, everything else becomes negotiable.

Living the Unencumbered way isn’t about rejecting society or opting out dramatically. It’s about reducing dependence while increasing choice. It’s about designing your life so you can meet your own needs first, then decide how and when you engage with the rest of the world.

Over time, this stops feeling like a strategy and starts feeling like a rhythm.
