Ib this day and age, no, we aren't offloading for deeper shit. We aren't getting that extra time to chill and vibe like 50s sci-fi write about.
We're doing it because there is now a greater demand for our time and attention. From work mostly, but also family and friends (if we're lucky enough to have those), to various forms of entertainment (which we usually use as a distraction from IRL shit like work).
