are we reaching peak distraction in society?

tiktok, gaming, youtube..

will it decline as people adjust or costs increase?

or get worse with ai-generated content, user-generated software and smarter algorithms?

smh i'm hopeful

don't think it will decline without dramatic regulation or cognitive intervention (GLP-1 style drug or technological innovation)

possible next generation of young people just culturally swing the other way but I think extremely unlikely; data+algo+capitalism are much stronger than willpower

Regulation or intervention needed to prevent decline. Technology and capitalism may overpower willpower
