yes, "distraction" but distraction from "what"? That's the subtle difference. Where basically back in the 1920s but instead of physical cocaine it's digital now

  slow death? grew up in a cult now prevented from getting any employment living in a house full of cult fanatics scrolling the only thing to do. way cheaper than drugs. less side effects. idk nice to have something to entertain me on the road to dying imo it's not as bad as people make it seem people just like coming up with struggle stories once they have jobs and life etc

    more like sleeping and dreaming I guess. Do you think the more free people are the more they gotta somehow justify their freedom with simulated struggles?

      tbh i have never been free all my life the cult is all I know idk how the mind of a free human being works but if i had to guess it's the plotline of american psycho when basic needs are met people get bored maybe? and create struggles, games, simulate poverty if you had a place to live, could work for minimum wage, are not being abused every day your biggest struggle would be scrolling whereas if you can't work, are being abused everyday, live with a bunch of cult fanatics scrolling even monitored feels nice
