RE: A Real Post

in #addiction7 years ago

my constant addiction to reading, yes, reading is my main problem right now. This might sound ridiculous to some people, but this addiction is having terrible effects. I can't even go to the gym, because i have FOMO, about some piece of news (related to the crypto world). I also find it impossible not to follow a story, and get all the supporting details.

It's not that crazy: at least, it's not that crazy to me. Recently, I've been wondering about the podcasts, news, Web stuff that I've been reading inveterately: wondering, "Is this my TeeVee?"

Meaning: despite the more intellectual-centered content, is all my reading/listening a time sink like TeeVee is?

It takes a certain insight to ask this question, as it's a standard conceit in the intellectual set that reading, or paying attention to intellectual subjects, must be better for you than watching TeeVee for most of the day. What if it isn't?
