This whole article is about the ills of falloff in brain activity as human agency is hyper normalized; stick to an experiential lane the brain does not further develop or keep active neuron clusters.

Broad sustained exposure being the known mechanism to activate and deactivate "key cognitive brain regions".

Perhaps you should activate more regions via exposure to that which so easily excites your brain due to lack of exposure. Snark won't trigger you so easily then.

The hyper normalization on technology fueled escapism is the difference.

Everyone had freedom to pick their poison so to speak. Now? All tech and screen based.

Hyper-social normalization always falls apart. It's unnatural; modern human biology evolved for thousands solving problems mostly in isolation. Tech fueled distribution of material goods humans need to survive is great as it removed risk to biology. But social normalization sucks.

Whether the socialized motive is appease gods by living up to scripture, keep a job/build career make money, or validate it just normalizes people and if we all know the same shit, why discuss anything with them? We already know the same shit.
