Anyone else feels the Internet has made them dumber? I used to read a couple of books a month and had a much better attention span, but ever since I got more and more online I've been having trouble sitting down and concentrating. I've been stuck with the same book for three months now and I can never stay quiet long enough to finish it already.
>it's this thread again
Why don't we have a "help I'm a low attention span pleb" info thing in the sticky?

I've never finished a whole non-fiction book in my life, which is all I read. Been skimming Wittgenstein and Justice for two weeks now. I think it's a better way to learn t b h, since you only get the important pieces in more digestible chunks

Read The Extensions of Man by Marshall McLuhan, or at least about it. Every medium has effected the inner workings of man's mind in one way or another. Why would the internet be any different? Interact with mediums that resemble the way you'd like to think (in structure) and eventually that's how you'll think.

Haven't read the other anon's recommendation but 'The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains' by Nicholas Carr was a very good book on this subject and it's on libgen. You probably wouldn't be able to finish it though.
The internet has only made me unproductive. It's remarkable. The only time I was ever productive was when I had a broken computer for a nine month span in which I produced a season long television script that I am very proud of.
Got a computer back and have done shit all since. Thank god I was extremely late to smartphones. What a fuck waste this all is.
