While current logic demands that we become super-productive beings or reproductive organs of money, the space for personal autonomy and self-determination that would allow us to become masters of our own time and our own lives is conspicuously absent. We live in a constant struggle for our time. Every minute spent on a digital platform is a minute lost for another activity. Are we aware of this trade-off? What is our room for maneuver and choice in the face of these types of situations?
While this isn’t “news” it’s very well put together, in such a way that it seems kind of significant? Did anyone else read it?
I just did and it made me want to take a break from the digital world once again and possibly make a good practice of intermittently taking technology breaks… It might help someone else as well. But as the introduction suggested there is no new info here. Just a lot of ‘perspective’ stuff.
I too am driven by studies and data collected from my PNAS.
Username checks out. Let ‘em in.
I mean, isn’t this just a numbers game?

Once your population approaches infinity, then the certainty of specific outcomes from specific prompts rises towards 100%.
