Looking back I've never been more active on internet stuff, social media, mindless youtube, the hn loop, than when unable to hang out IRL and do stuff with friends. Given screens are correlated with mental health issues, the article pr

Historically that's what happens with any concentration of power and skill, things break when the founder/monarch dies. Look at Rome's endless civil wars and the countless Chinese dynasties. Exception being when a capable suc
