"While England endeavors to cure the potato-rot, will not any endeavor to cure the brain-rot, which prevails so much more widely and fatally?” - Henry David Thoreau, Walden, 1854
Don't you love it when people suggest, just set limits on screen time? My guy. If I hit my screen limit, I mindlessly go into the screen limit app and turn the screen limit off. Every time. Behold.
You could not even aspire to my level of brainrot. I am ascended. Every minute, 500+ hours of content are uploaded on Youtube. I consume them all.
Look. You are not broken. We all are aware that your monkey brain's impulses enjoy the stimulating content served by an algorithm that engineers at Google/Meta/other techcorps are paid massive salaries to pacify your mind with from a young age. It was doomed from the start. And it's only going to become more addictive thanks to advances in technologies that predict and alter behavior.
As I've written in the Site Background - despite the eponymous website, I hope to come across as "slop-neutral". I can recognize that it's not an inherently evil technology. It's just a powerful one. You can totally live your life under that power! Enjoy the fruits of our age. Consume mindlessly. Leave no trace on this world. I won't judge. I hope my weird cringey nonsense genuinely resonates with your little twisted soul. If that's what you want. Is that what you want?
If one part of this silly website can be serious, let it be this - Millions are rotting against their will. Abandoning their dreams to dust. I don't think this is "cute" or a "trend". This a crime against humanity.
Attention is all you have, spend it wisely.

please, for me?
