Just as with junk food, information addiction is a thing. When there's a shortage of quality information, or when proper cultural norms around overconsumption of information haven't been created yet, society doesn't view addiction to information, to the internet, as a problem. It's just that thing every does. Like, people smoked three packs over a day, or how everybody got wasted forever without caring what it'd do to them. It's the same, the information overload and we'll see it manifest itself in the coming years.
So with the Ukraine thing yeah, I was in trouble, daily cellphone usage on Saturday was 13.5 hours and about 12.5 hours on Sunday. All of it related to reading the coverage of the war. Total obsession I tell you, skipped a nice opportunity to hang with the extended Seattle gang, raised by stress levels, screwed up my sleep cycle. All for what? Completely unclear. I just did.
On top of that, this was supposed to be the 'get your shit together, gotta practice good habits' week. Shit's fucked up man.
