When will one of these projects finally name themselves “Infinite Jest”? I’m guessing when the perfect pornography can be generated for you immediately, it will have an entertainment-to-death effect on a number of people. An Infinite Jest for conspiracy theories; one for shit posts, etc.
I mean, there are some theories that the mental illness epidemic is partially caused by internet use. I did strict 2 months Internet fast and I can attest it has a healing effect. Does it have entertainment-to-death effect? I guess there is a bigger than expected number of suicides that wouldn't happen have the people not been addicted to Internet. But I agree with every passing year we are moving further and further into entertainment-to-death with our civilisations.
