Humanity has been living unnaturally since capitalism was invented let's just keep it 100.
People dont realize our bodies have even changed. We used to have something called second sleep. Because for literally hundreds of thousands of years humans like any other animal had bodies attuned to the rhythms of nature, we would naturally fall asleep before 9pm and then wake up around 4 naturally and then fall back asleep.
Storytelling was a skill people got good at and was prized in society. People were generally more social and had time to talk to one another because most people were farm laborers. They didnt have artificial quotas. If there was a drought or if the plants couldnt survive due to something related to the weather thats just how things were and everyone accepted that. People would work for chunks of time and then have huge chunks of time for breaks.

The need for constant work even through the night led to the creation of artificial light at night which contributed to sleep disturbance.
Social media has done something similar to what capitalism has done to our bodies and minds(obsession with time is something new) except to our social skills. On top of that, we have created a living hell where people born into a life they didnt ask for, need to make money or else they will literally die because EVERYTHING is being colonized by capital. Human needs, human wants, all of it is being monetized. There is no such thing as "enough" money, so every last ounce of attention and humanity is being tied to money. And at the same time these people dont want to raise wages.
It isnt a coincidence that more and more people are just saying "I'm opting out of this" and moving to another country and if they cant just straight up killing themselves because the alternative is a slow, humiliating, painful death on the streets. Especially with two political parties that genuinely believe THIS is the best economic and political system and refuse to make substantial changes that would at least give people a better chance of being able to claw themselves out of poverty. Yall think suicide rates are high now? South korea and japan are previews of what is to come for america.
