Great piece! We would benefit to be more informed about the dangers of addiction, particularly when it comes to smartphones. The information pimps know how to feed our compulsive behaviors and they are monitoring, in real time, how we consume. My fear is that it is too late for many. Wherever you go, people are sucked into the virtual world, and seem less able to live in reality. Look forward to hearing more insights.
Thanks Clayton! Love your notion of "pimping" for addictive or sketchy or distracting information. There out to be some consequence for such pimping--if nothing more than a reduction in esteem...

My personal consequence from over consumption of media is more anxiety, self loathing and uncertainty. I have become narcissistic in my critique of
Narcissism.
