1000% yes! I am in the process of writing a piece that is basically like "please stop recommending things to me unless you have a model of why this might be good for me to read." I have also, for better or for worse, almost completely given up podcasts. Sometimes exploring is fun, but I don't want to listen "just to listen," there ought to be a spark that catches me.
dude, this is so fire; the frustration in your tone had me giggling. I think "starting local' is a framework that has proven to be a great strategy against a lot of issues that I've faced recently. Our intuition is evolved to deal with complexity, so learning to listen to it is such an incredibly useful undertaking. Good stuff!
I resisted the urge to make a book recommendation 🤣
Love the food analogy. It occurred to me the other day that mindfulness and physical fitness are similar in that if you consume copious IG/Tik Tok etc and don't practice detoxing stimulation, that's akin to eating junk food and not exercising. Both will make it more and more difficult to resist the "easier" option going forward. Addiction is a mighty beast

Hunger for Knowledge and one way you deal with it: creative release. Love it!
Thinking about dopamin detox and this wonderful german word:
"Zuvielisation". It s a mixup of civilisation and "zu viel" meaning too much.

This post hits me so bad 🫣🤣
Liked the idea: start simple, start local, make random changes, and iterate!
