Comment on I've noticed my boomer parents using Instagram and tik tok. I can't tell you how excited I am for them to kill those platforms like they did facebook.

Not before their brains start to rot by using those in the first place

It’s scary to see how even the older generation gains reduced attention span, reduced ability to learn and need for instant gratification on this short dopamine machine.

I experience it myself. I know I am an addict and need to quit. Yet here I am.

  It’s a loop that is hard to quit once you’ve entered it.
  
  I wish you success; maybe a good digital detox on the countryside with some simple books, field work and joys may help to reset your mind?

    I spend a lot of time off grid but it is excruciating.
    
    Best treatment is having things to do for others, but that is rare these days

    Maybe take some volunteering, then?
    
    Or would it be too hard to force yourself to start doing something like that?
