We're being over-stimulated, which is in turn reducing our attention span and focus. I believe it'll get worse as years go on.

If you were to be transported to say even, the 1970s..Life would seem more slower, and in turn you could focus on more goals and accomplish more in a day.

Productivity at work may very well be just fine, but when you get home the average Westerner is becoming more & more scatterbrained...

>You Now Have a Shorter Attention Span Than a Goldfish

here's a video that brilliantly describes what I'm talking about:

===============================================

I mean...How are we supposed to have successful careers,relationships, ambitions, etc. if we are having trouble focusing? ADHD-like symptoms are seeping into the masses.


Should there be a movement across the globe to re-focus ourselves with technology? Like, have it be taught in schools to use the internet in controlled amounts, to not have so many tabs open, to not get lost in wikipedia, youtube, or facebook links etc.

For example, what can help me is opening my phone to type something down to read for later, that way I won't be lost reading a wikipedia article and the hundred wikipedia tabs that follows it.

You could argue that you're "shutting yourself out to potential knowledge" by limiting your internet activity but let's get real: How much random knowledge bullshit do you actually retain from opening your 50 tabs? The best you can hope for on average is to Bookmark it and read it later..in which you'll likely get distracted by something the next time you're trying to read it.

My grandma reads her book that she's working on every day, checks her email along with facebook, followed by some news on the TV and and some entertainment show.

That's about where we should be at, rather than reading a million different things a day. I'm not saying that you need to have facebook or get your news from the TV - you can use whatever you want that'll inspire you - but definitely regulate your information to the dosage of what an average grandma/grandpa does.

So you know, I'd shitpost on 4chan, check the news, watch a youtube video, read an article or so, message some people, whatever. Sounds like an average day, but I'll astronomically focus on just a few points of interest per activity, which will allow me to focus on my other goals in the day, not get distracted, and also focus more in those activities by not being too scatterbrained by them


But yeah, of all these wack-ass 'movements' that are sprouting up, I think above all us we need to have a movement that brings back our level of focus to pre-1980s levels.

I tried it with BF1 and it worked fine

ShadowPlay is still best in terms of performance though, you can use the older GFE 2.1 version to avoid online botnet, just be sure to block updates.

>>58710808

As a long-time Mac user, I second this. You probably shouldn't be after this abomination. If you need this kind of power, get a cheese grater Mac Pro (which you can find on Craigslist all the time for sub-$1000 prices) or do a Hackintosh from scratch.

SpaceX is finally having their Hyperloop prototype competition - running 27 teams' vehicles through an evacuated 1km tube. Livestream starting imminently:

Nice

it's insane that they're actually doing a vacuum tube - does anyone have any details on how they're doing it? most of the criticism of the hyperloop I saw came down to "how are you going to evacuate miles of tube", but I'd always assumed they would only evacuate the portion just ahead of the vehicle as it moves along...

I'm tuned in, how many of y'all's watching?
