Au contraire, nature is quite ignorant of the astronomical equinox.
For nature, things like the Cherry blossoms, the blooming of the magnolia tree and the awakening of the Bumble bee are the ways nature indicates when Spring has started.
Harvest season and autumn are more typically defined by brown leaves, ripe pumpkins and ripe cider apples.
I agree with this take.
We are wired to find the next problem and to solve it. Enjoy our work for a short while and then start looking for the next problem to solve.
Whether it is cultural or genetic, I don’t know, but it’s definitely very deep in our western psyche and it will not be going away any time soon.
The main problem I see is that a lot of people in Western society nowadays use complaining as a substitute for action, and so problems don’t get solved, but people convince themselves that they took action by complaining.
