This alliance seems paradoxical because constant convenience can act psychologically to reduce individual patience. Likewise patience can be vital in enduring a loss of convenience.
But when a society opts to expend & enhance its collective patience to abide ills that also enhance or maintain convenience, they go from antithetical to symbiotic - & those ills are one giant step closer to becoming mandatory. Patience gone from virtue to weapon & convenience devolved from comforting time-hack to delivery system for social atrophy via monoculturing.
