I’d just reset my mind by getting away from the viruses that these technology leaders are inserting into our brains. Like an alcoholic who forgets what healthy sobriety feels like, I had forgotten what real mental clarity feels like.
But far worse than that, you’re actively training your brain out of its ability to enjoy these deeper, slower pleasures until one day it becomes so dependent on dopamine that you can’t lose yourself in a long novel. By quitting them, I’m going to re-allocate my resources towards those who deserve them.
