Do you doom scroll on tiktok then switch over to the outnet or farfetch? Do you binge watch mindless tv until 1 am just to feel like you've relaxed. Let's talk about it.
What an insightful piece! This quote in particular really resonated with me and pinpointed a particularly dreadful feeling I've had in the evenings scrolling on the couch.
"But now, in our dopamine-driven and constant buy-me bombardment in a 2 hour doom scroll - there is a new type of depression. It isn’t one that is based on not being able to enjoy things, but the life-less vacuum of escaping this fatalistic “capitalist realism” with a constant stream of distraction."

Thank you! When I first learned about it I felt this sense of relief - it was naming a feeling I couldn’t articulate but felt bigger than myself
I used to love Philosophize This! I listened to it when I was watching The Good Place. Thanks for putting it back on my radar.
Such an awesome podcast that just scratches the intellectual itch and sets such a good tone for the week!
This is so amazing. I literally turned my head. It's like what I have been thinking for so long, but I couldn't figure out the puzzle. HERO!
We’re out here saying the quiet parts out loud 😂 ❤️
