I often spend entire weekends doing nothing but watching Youtube and reading Hacker News. Maybe I read a book sometimes or play a game, but do nothing that is really an emotional important thing or decision. I think this has to do with how the internet and all these forms of media tend to take over your mind and numb your feelings.

Like at this moment as I'm writing this post, I have to really fight to take control over my mind and notice my own feelings and opinions about things rather than just open another post and read stuff. A lot of the time I read posts and watch YouTube videos and know nothing about what I feel about it, only see what other people think. Any thoughts on this? I can spend hours in this state, maybe a whole day without a single original thought or even analyzing a second hand thought.
