It's making us sick in ways we don't really understand yet because it's only been 10-15 years of the cell phone era. It's the blink of an eye, even if it seems like most of your life if you're 15-25. https://twitter.com/TheAgeofShoddy/status/1408825681040097282?s=20 …

This is something I think about a lot, and it's a problem I want to work on (for selfish reasons if nothing else). Need to think about this really carefully once I settle a little more. I want to create more human moments. Make space for more genuine interaction in meatspace.

And find ways to distance myself from the memeplex a bit without going full hermit. I think a lot of my anxiety comes from this kind of constant attention assault and over-stimulation, and I don't think I'm alone.

A decade ago I was reading Robin Hanson and Tyler Cowen and thinking about memes and I wrote
@eigenrobot a letter about how I was worried about the evolution of competing idea wars that eventually push out room for individuality and human flourishing. Maybe hand-wringing.1 reply 0 retweets 13 likesShow this thread -
But maybe not. I think we're witnessing the start of it over the last 5-10 years and unless we actually do something about it it's just gonna keep coming. It's not ideal.

And saying "we have to do something about it" isn't enough. You, individually, and me, individually, have to make space and assert preferences for not-this in our own lives if we want to resist it. I'm not quite sure what the best way to do that is... yet.

i don't know the best way to fix this problem yet, but i will start with more dinner parties, with more food and drinks, with the exchange of ideas over a meal shared with the best of intentions in a defined space, with people who want to share their experience and emotions.
