E-Booka would cause the same problem I assume.

I'm positive concentration and reading comprehension were far better before the Internet.

good stuff. I like the classic beauty/romantic beauty framing.

I also hear what you're saying. Man is a creature of habit; if you consume vapid stuff and go for entertainment and likes, your brain will get used to that. It'll take a little effort to become productive again but you'll get used to it. In the long run though, the second one wil give you the best chance for a fulfilling life.

It's just simple dopamine abuse. Your brain prefers the effortless reward it gets from vidya, youtube, 4chan/reddit etc... It's the mental equivalent of candy. Totally empty material that pretty much tricks your brain into giving you pleasure.

Once you get used to it or have grown up on these cheap little rewards, it's very difficult to go back. It's very similar to quitting drugs.

The internet abuses your reward systems, your basically on a constant dopamine trip. This is why time seems to go by so fast

Currently reading All Quiet on the Western Front, but since there's only like 30 pages left I started Rendezvous with Rama this morning. All Quiet was great, and Rendezvous feels like it's going to be really fascinating.

The ending of the 4th book was incredible. Make sure you read them all.

I'm trying to choose content that's a lot more in depth and engaging but I keep coming to the realization that I should just use them as starting points to go learn on my own, instead of trying to learn from these vids/posts/etc
