It's not :) Compared to other sites, HN is quite a healthy place. News are anxiogenic, and Twitter is as toxic as it gets.

Moderation makes a good job of keeping the place sane, and even if it's just reading the headlines and comments, at least we kind of know what's going in the tech world.

Wasting the one non-renewable resource that we possess (time) is a problem, no matter which comforting delusion we use to justify it.

Only waste if it's defined as such. People get to decide how "bad" spending time doing things is for themselves.

Too much of our lives are in a reactive state -- responding to events rather than being proactive. Thats a good survival mechanism -- but it causes anxiety by overanalyzing, rather than living in the moment. I think limits and boundaries are important -- but its too easy to let emotions carry us away. Rationality is only one facet of human behavior.
