Addiction to emotions and addiction to thoughts are two big ones that keep people enslaved. Most people are oblivious to how much energy the thought-jumping process wastes. Thoughts have momentum, at least in the brains, so reading a newsfeed - a series of tiny thought-bites - is like driving in stop-and-go traffic at 6 pm: you accelerate to process the next post in your newsfeed, and immediately decelarate because the post has little substance. After a few hours of such "driving" we feel exhausted, yet having advanced very little. What's worse, most newsfeeds try to enflame emotions that waste even more of our energy.
