Subject: "I want diversion!"
I complained to Anna just this morning.
And then I read this on Challies (while having a little diversion break after briefing ads.)
"The compulsive search for diversion is often an attempt to escape the wretchedness of life. We have great difficulty being quiet in our rooms. … Cyberspace may be the greatest temptation yet offered to humanity to lose its soul in diversion." This was written 12 years ago. Before even Twitter and "ambient awareness".
Oh no! I knew there was some underlying danger and I was about to form a theory, but this guy beat me to putting it into words.
