> Human development is all about removing minor inconveniences.

That's a uniquely American perspective.

Japanese homes often don't have space heating. The Swiss often keep their homes at 20°C in the winter.

Most of the globe doesn't travel everywhere by car. Arguably it's the intention to remove pain as much as possible which resulted in the opioid epidemic.

There's a point at which trying to get rid of inconveniences becomes harmful.
