Society was built to make money.
Indifferent to your health and sanity.
For example, we did not evolve to:
+ sit 10 hours a day
+ have our attention fractured 300 times daily
+ compare ourselves to millions of others
+ travel 9 time zones in 13 hours
+ tolerate sounds above 85 dB causing hearing loss
+ outsmart algorithms hijacking our reward system
+ breathe fine particulate air pollution
+ live under 16+ hrs of artificial light a day
+ have 3 courses of antibiotics before age 2
+ eat ultra-processed foods for 60% of daily calories
+ consume 17 teaspoons of added sugar a day
So if you're feeling down in the dumps, maybe fatigued, a little or a lot depressed, anxious, that's why.
App is now totally broken, every ~10 posts in my Recent feed is now a random (usually right-wing) tweet or reply from accounts I don't follow/not marked as an ad/etc.
The new X custom timelines and slop filters on For You is a step in the right direction.
But "topics" especially ones preselected or temporary is only a tiny part of the wider problem with addictive, low quality, and misleading content online.
Two weeks without mobile internet improved mental health more than antidepressants and reversed roughly 10 years of attentional decline.
Screen time dropped 49% (314 to 161 min/day).
How much my feed has broken my brain:
I’ve been gaslit by my phone for so long that I wouldn't believe the sky was blue unless I saw it with my own eyes outside.
Everything online is a mirage, and I’m just here for the ride.
