Name one activity that isn't surrogate.

>> No.14641328

That depends on the CONTEXT.

If you need to hunt to survive, then hunting is not a surrogate activity.

If you need to make moccasins out of skinned deer because otherwise your toes will get frostbit and you could end up dying or affecting your ability to hunt (above) then it is not a surrogate activity.

It's a matter of DEGREES, as is everything.

Cultural activities that you lose yourself in are surrogate activities. They are not needs. Your body needs food, sleep, shelter, clothing to survive these are not surrogate activities

Are surrogate activities actually a bad thing though? It seems preferable to divert our attention to other places once we do the amount of work necessary for survival. This prevents the technical phenomenon from happening and bringing about the absolute state of the modern world.
