We should just rename Internet to Infinite Jest.

I mean, there are some theories that the mental illness epidemic is partially caused by internet use. I did strict 2 months Internet fast and I can attest it has a healing effect. Does it have entertainment-to-death effect? I guess there is a bigger than expected number of suicides that wouldn't happen have the people not been addicted to Internet. But I agree with every passing year we are moving further and further into entertainment-to-death with our civilisations.

Makes me kinda sad to work in tech industry.
