Endless News

I liked the world better when the news came on for half-an-hour and then we did other stuff for 23 1/2 hours. Now it follows you around all day and begs for change like a homeless person.

We are overwhelmed with content. It’s not natural. As a metaphor, the first diet book ever written was 200 years ago in London. With railroads, food was available to anyone with money on an unlimited basis. So people got fat. Previously, it was really hard to overeat on a regular basis. We need information diets.
