Vol. 42 Information Is Calories — And We’re All Mentally Overweight

If in the future, all food—even gourmet meals—were free and instantly available, wouldn’t we all end up overweight?

Well, that future has already arrived—just not with food, but with information.

Our minds feel bloated, our brains have gotten lazy. We consume constantly, but rarely digest.

Imagination fades. Creativity stalls.

We just repeat the “right” things others have said, and our thoughts lose the freedom to be wrong in our own way.

Short videos are the fast food.

Classics are the five-star meals.

Breaking news has the shelf life of milk.

Reality shows? They’re like chips—endless, salty, and hard to stop munching on.

But if it all leads to mental obesity…

does it even matter what we’re consuming?
