My brain has been completely fried lately.
The nonstop dopamine machine of infinite AI vibe coding sessions, endless scrolling timelines on every social media app, switching information streams from Netflix to Disney to YouTube to Instagram to video games to ripping TCG packs and pulling gacha machines and trading meme coins and looking for the next hit
It’s destroying my memory, my ability to focus, to concentrate, to stay excited by one project or task for more than a few days let alone a few weeks
Talking to friends and other terminally online people I feel like I am not alone and lots of people are going through similar things lately
I took a break day on Monday to basically reset my brain and it was extremely comforting. Almost no tech devices. Read a physical book, did a physical puzzle, went for a walk, wrote with pen and paper.
I think I (and probably lots of us) need to be so mindful of the dangers of infinite dopamine being shoved down our throats and try and escape and heal from it whenever we can
It feels like I’m steamrolling to early dementia otherwise 🙃
