Lacking a leafy back garden where fricking hummingbirds visit (tweetingtoohard moment there), I'm reduced to getting my occasional insights in the morning shower. But I still agree with the first 90% of the piece. Too bad about the (lack of) conclusion.
Ah, well. Weren't I so deprived, I'd eventually think of an insightful comment mentioning McLuhan's electric external nervous system, and feedback loops working at ever higher frequencies. Besides that, I'm sorry oppressed by the 7-line HN comment box. That's, like, 3 tweets. Fermat's syndrome(TM).

- jwvgoethe 17y agoWhat I took from it as the conclusion was that long stretches of time without distraction are perhaps a necessary condition for deep intellectual exploration. From my experiences i've formed the same conclusions and this is the reason I live alone, don't own a TV, and am currently trying to limit my use of the internet as much as possible (ironic I know considering i'm wasting my time here, but i'm getting better I swear!). I'm starting to believe that any important intellectual truths have to be discovered for oneself, and that the only way to do this is to be alone with only your thoughts.
