Can we live in the world we’ve designed for ourselves?

“...the fact is, there’s just so much damn content,” Chappell Ellison writes. “Everywhere you turn. It would take you more than 11,000 years to watch Netflix’s current catalog.

And social media is built for infinite scrolling. Nothing ends anymore, and it’s driving me insane.’” I know I’m just validating this notion, but uh, read on. Really.
