Mobile phones are the opium den of the 21st Century
As the title states mobile phones are the opium den of the 21st century. Dopamine instead of opium.
The phone itself is like the pipe the addict smokes and the apps, games and everything else running on the phone itself designed to provide dopamine hits are the opium.
Apple, Samsung etc are selling the pipes to smoke the opium and Zuckerberg, the google dweebs, candy crushing game developers, and the other tech douchebags are the actual drug dealers.
%98 of the adult U.S. population is hooked. The first thing they do when they wake up and the last thing they do before they go to sleep is hit the pipe.
You hit the pipe and waste your life while they make money from your wasted time and potential.
When do you put the pipe down? When you're physically dying?
I've never owned a mobile phone so I don't hit the pipe.
I laugh when I see celebrities talking about the brave individuals they know who have a "flip phone" like its some kind of rebellious act- living out their ascetic existence with their humble flip phone ^_^
You don't have to have a mobile phone at all. I use Google voice on my laptop for texting/calls when I need to.
Here's my tip- if you claim to be a creator- get rid of your fucking phone- it's destroying your imagination and your ability to focus for long periods of time which is required to make great work.
Its going to be painful at first because you are addicted but just allow yourself to let go and be consumed by the work, it will do things for you that no phone or app can ever do.
