That's good for you. Now do teenagers spending 6+ hours per day on average taking notes and looking at the time ? or is there something else going on for _most_ people

> Looking stuff up saves money and time if you use it correctly.

Living in a pod like in Matrix saves money and time too, if anything it's the most optimal way to live

Perhaps you’d like to share them then?

Side note… I find it kind of ridiculous that my comment got flagged. There are many similarities here. Higher level entity controlling your existence, world entirely dictated by that entity, “true self” just temporarily existing in the provided world but it’s not the “primary” plane of existence. I really struggle to see how this is problematic to discuss.

Man that’s an irritating response but you do you.

It is far less intellectually lazy as pointing to the matrix as an attempt at strawmanning against phones, imo.
