What gives?
Does anyone else feel like the quality of this article is decidedly poor? It reads like a high school student's essay, where they don't really have much to say, but use words they hardly know to sound smart. I'm seriously trying to be charitable here but it has the same structure of people's homework assignments, with odd quoting of random sources to reach requirements and jumps all over the place without a coherent thesis.

It’s similar to how PTSD patients will often turn the volume up on life both figuratively and literally as they try to drown out the thoughts actively. The vast majority of the western population seems to want to drown out their fears and anxieties with bombastic sports and drama shows.
Media in the bathroom is just another enabler for that unhealthy coping mechanism.

It's all distracting from deep thought, which I suspect is also one of the reason why many lay awake at night, overwhelmed by thoughts that had no place to surface during the day.
