Video games are very addictive to me. After playing Starcraft for 16 hours straight one saturday, I carefully watch and moderate my video game play and have deleted most games from my system.
In your battle to live a meaningful, purposeful life, the peddlers of superstimuli are your enemy.
- psykotic 14y agoGood for you--I mean that. My addictive superstimulus is learning new things with no practical relevance my work, like orbital mechanics or calendrical calculations. When I catch myself going on extended binges, I try to extricate myself by consciously directing my time and energy elsewhere. But it would be silly of me to indict textbooks as harmful objects. Any hardcore procrastinator knows that the focus is incidental and essentially arbitrary.
- Evbn 14y agoThe average American isn't dead, so obviously you didn't say what you meant, if what you meant made sense.
- learc83 14y agoHe never specified a time frame--Watching 5 hours of TV will kill you over x number of years (also it's clear he meant the resulting inactivity will kill you).
