Addictive Antibodies

"We haven’t had time to develop societal antibodies to addictive new things," Paul Graham says. The creators of today's products are moving too fast to see the long-term damage of their work. They are not acting with bad intentions. They simply do not understand the effects of a world driven by constant addiction. Because this problem is so new, society has not learned how to protect itself yet. This means you cannot wait for the world to save you. The responsibility falls completely on you. You have to figure out what to avoid and actually carry through with it. Building your own mental defenses is the only way to block out the noise and live a better life.
