This is one of the many reasons I have always valued laziness. Laziness tells a man that some tasks are too stupid to do without a better tool, and he might well invent one. And laziness also tells a man that there's no point getting worked up over problems that clearly never end, no matter how much you watch. It's a lot less work to be happy and only look at things that aren't trying to manipulate you (except maybe to remind you there are burgers and cool toys to buy, if you feel like it would make you more happy). I'm seeing more and more people quitting that vile social media, and I wish they had more of a real internet to go back to. Sadly, like Fantasia, much of it's been destroyed by the Nothing.

(also Silicon Valley was incredible, if depressing due to how realistically hopeless it makes things feel.)
