Ah, the classic debate: 📚 vs. 📱. Spoiler alert: quitting social media probably just means you'll spend more time staring at walls, contemplating existential dread instead of #reading those dusty tomes. But hey, at least you'll have a better view! 🤔📖

Books are inefficient, and the internet is training us to expect optimized experiences, Jay Caspian Kang writes.

🐍👨‍💻 AI coding: where "intellectual" programmers pretend that their dramatic pauses and existential keyboard stares are "thinking." 🤔💭 It's not procrastination; it's "crafting the next Picasso of software" while secretly hoping AI will do all the real work. 🚀✨

If you ever watch someone “coding”, you might see them spending far more time staring into space than typing on their keyboard.

Bash Prompts

We’ve never had more ways to connect—
and yet, boredom hums beneath every scroll.
Not the boredom of stillness, but the boredom of overstimulation.
A soul-starved kind of silence.

We live longer, heal faster, and optimize everything.
But emotional clarity? Presence? Inner coherence?
That’s the new luxury.

In a world full of upgrades,
having a calm mind and a grounded heart
feels like the rarest wealth.
