Quotes:

“My brain felt hungry”

That’s how my brain felt to me, too. Hungry. Needy. Itchy. Once it wanted information. But then it was distraction. And then, with social media, validation. A drumbeat of: You exist. You are seen.

Ezra Klein, 07 Aug 2022 from the essay “I Didn’t Want It to Be True, but the Medium Really Is the Message”
