I mean, I think not, having lived on them, and not wanting to go back.

Its about information density. The “things” we interact with, they almost never fit into an equal dimensional density across two dimensions. There is almost always more substantially more information in one dimension than the other.

A spread sheet you are interacting with is almost always either longer in one way, or wider in another. Even if it wasn’t, creating a manner in which it could be optimally viewed would make the content irrelevantly small.

We’re better off picking one of the two dimensions, committing to an orientation, and then rotating our monitor to fit that. If we do that, we’ll get more information per unit area on the screen.

We did that for decades. It was pretty miserable.

You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like.

Its stress. You need a break, even if you can’t tell you need one. I know, because I’m in the exact same boat, and I need a break too. You and I need physical rest, time to dissociate mentally with existing responsibilities, and spiritually (emotionally) reconnect with our motivations for living.

I think its reasonable to assume these symptoms are compounded by environmental factors (like having had covid, stress, getting older, etc), but ultimately, its our own behavior to be put at blame. That doesn’t preclude the need for potentially deep recovery. For example, I was extremely burnt out 6 years ago. I made a huge number of life changes, where I knew I would be overextending myself even further, with the goal of being able to real it back in at the end to a much more simple calmer life. And it would have worked if not for the complete and total collapse of American democracy.
