RE: Is Our Addiction to "Quick Fixes" Killing Us?

Seeing as you upvoted my post ('what i would do if I had a normal life') I will assume you read it.
There is a big difference between the 'quick fix', and changing the time parameters of thinking ahead.
There are very few 'quickies'- just the illusion of them.
What I think people have to to terms with, is that the (relatively) stable world we have all grown up in, is changing.
A rule of thumb - The more chaos, the shorter the 'planning ahead' time frame.
Too much chaos brings in too many variables for long term, strategies. (imo)

I did read your post, yes... which I thought made some really good points, in terms of life on a "macro" scale. It also got me to thinking about the question I was trying to raise here; how people tend to reach for "quick fixes" and "magic pills" that allegedly offer "instant answers" to systemic problems that have taken years — if not generations — to create.
Sure, a doctor can give me a pill for my frequent headaches, and I might forget about the headache till I get the next one. OR we can figure out why I get headaches in the first place and go through the more laborious and time consuming process of removing the problem that causes the headaches.
