On a secondary large screen in my basement home office, I run this in fullscreen.

This is very compellingly written but I've found a lot of it not to be true for me. It is gray and rainy and a bummer outside most of the time, so frequent sights of that are like frequent sights of politics news. In my home office, I don't have much of a (detectable) background thread running for who could be at my office door, but opening the window and seeing people walking their dogs etc directly at the edge of my unfenced front yard absolutely causes that sense to flare up, even if they're all harmless and I recognize half of them.

Getting the room cozy and psychologically satisfying was a huge deal, and I"m really glad I did it, but the end result is much closer to horse blinders. I have ADHD, so distraction minimization is the name of the game.

1) This is so obviously written by an LLM I can’t get past the first paragraph. When will this end?

2) I’m disappointed that this isn’t about a British paranoid schizophrenic.

The article author has an agenda: Screens Are Bad.

From the "living room" article:

> At first glance, this family room has everything. Vaulted ceilings. Open floor plan. A fireplace. Warm colors. Even a threshold to the dining room where life continues beyond.

> But stand in that threshold for sixty seconds. Watch where your eyes go.

> They go to the screen. Every time.

> Looking through the lens of Open Enough Design, this isn’t a family room. It’s The Worship Hall. The television has colonized the fireplace and converted every piece of furniture into pews. The room preaches a single sermon: Face forward. The screen is speaking.

As for "They go to the screen. Every time."... After reading this, I had to return to the picture and search for the screen.

Apparently the author is simply triggered by the presence of screens. And I am not.

This is like advocating that "don't paint rooms blue", because blue reminds people of that time you were savagely attacked in middle school in the blue hallway and beaten so badly your mother had to take you to the emergency room, so anyway: don't paint rooms blue.
