I calculated the total time that humans have waited for web pages to load. It cancels out all the productivity gains of the information age. Sometimes I think the web is a big plot to keep people like me away from normal society.
Scott AdamsWhat does it mean to be yourself?โ he asked. โIf it means to do what you think you ought to do, then youโre doing that already. If it means to act like youโre exempt from societyโs influence, thatโs the worst advice in the world; you would probably stop bathing and wearing clothes. The advice to โbe yourselfโ is obviously nonsense. But our brains accept this tripe as wisdom because it is more comfortable to believe we have a strategy for life than to believe we have no idea how to behave.
