Recently, I just can’t just watch youtube videos on 1.0x speed, I go as fast as 1.5, sometime 1.75 or 2.0. I skim all the articles i read. And I just skim anything said by npcs in video games. I used to be able to take it slow and enjoy the details in games, now I kinda go like ugh, boring… next thing please

I played BOTW and TOTK then I can’t finish TOTK anymore. Like its not bad, just feels tedious after playing for a while (barely been 2 months)

Is this a thing? Getting older = less patience? (I’m not even old lol, still only a young adult)

    I think it largely has to do with every system we interact with (from birth at this point) being optimized, professionally by people with doctorates mind you, to drip dopamine for you. I believe (without any evidence lol) that this is creating an ADHD society.

      I back this.

      Short form content practically everywhere has fueled this need for quick fixes and it gets so much harder to do anything that actually needs attention.
