Stand in any grocery store for ten minutes and watch what happens. Shoppers pause, squint, compare labels, check their phones, circle back-all for a box of crackers. What should take seconds stretches into minutes of quiet agony. This isn't indecisiveness; it's the modern condition. We're drowning in a sea of 285 cookie varieties, 175 salad dressings, and 30,000 total products per store, with 20,000 new items launched annually. The explosion extends everywhere: 6.5 million possible stereo combinations, 200+ TV channels, college courses numbering in the hundreds where once there were dozens. Harvard students navigate 220 courses across seven areas; Princeton offers 350. Even our identities-once fixed by birth-have become customizable projects. We can reshape our faces, reinvent our ethnicities, and curate our personalities like playlists. This abundance promises freedom but delivers something else entirely: paralysis, anxiety, and a nagging sense that whatever we choose, something better exists just out of reach.
