  • I think the moral dilemma that I'm faced with most often is whether or not to choose convenience.

  • I'm not just faced with this moral dilemma on a weekly basis or even a daily basis, no.

  • I'm faced with this moral dilemma on an hourly basis, okay?

  • Almost every single decision I make throughout my day somehow relates to this moral dilemma.

  • And I find that fascinating because if I had been born 200 years ago, I'd never faced this moral dilemma.

  • Whether or not to choose convenience wasn't a moral dilemma back then because life was incredibly inconvenient.

  • And anytime convenience was an option, it was common sense to choose it.

  • Whereas now life is unbelievably convenient.

  • I mean, listen, it's still in some ways inconvenient,

  • but compared to how it used to be, life is unbelievably convenient, okay?

  • We can order anything to our door whenever we want.

  • Unless you live in like a random tiny house on a deserted island,

  • you can probably order something and it'll probably show up in less than a week, okay?

  • There's an appliance for everything, for everything.

  • You need help with something, there's probably an appliance for that.

  • And on a daily basis, I am faced with the choice to take the convenient route or perhaps the less convenient route.

  • But this was not always a dilemma that I faced.

  • I briefly pause this episode to let you know that this episode of Anything Goes is presented by Temptations Cat Treats.

  • Your cat will come running for the perfectly irresistible Temptations Creamy Purr A and Temptations Lickable Spoon Cat Treats.

  • The best time to feed lickable cat treats to your cat is anytime.
