Seriously. The human psyche was not designed for information overload. It evolved for hunting, gathering, socializing within a small group, and having a limited diet.
Now we got dopamine machines in our pocket, peer pressure from corporations, and rich foods that screw up our health, but leave us hungering for more. And we *can* have more, we're told we can have more, it will improve our life more, so we crave more dispite the cost to health, sanity, and immediate social groups.
~~There is an exception for wartime... Fuck~~ Nevermind. I checked and that was false.
