we’re all crack addicts. Psychologist explain our brain with a layered model. The lizard brain and the human brain. Lizard brain is the leftover from the monkeys, crazy emotional, instinctual The human brain is the cerating quantum mechanics and pondering over deep philosophical questions like why are we here? what is our purpose, etc. Today technology and civilization has transformed our existence, one has access to knowledge and resources like never before. But technology is just a tool and unfortunately this tool is in a state of severe misuse. The unparalled information has us hooked liked crack, [quote by robert heilem and content for each], we could be learning quantum mechanics and advanced algorithms but what are doing ? Watching 24 GIFs of Kate Upton looking sexy, we have at our disposal the most powerful communication device and what do we do with? Play angry birds (or even better Flappy bird!!) What does this tell us? We have access to the biggest library there ever has been but all we is keeping taking hits of information. Likes, comments, shares,tweets, upvotes, views, pins, +1s, Numbers that wont be there to comfort you when you’re dying. We have completely surrendered ourselves to technology, instead of serving us, we are serving it http://img7.joyreactor.com/pics/post/manu-cornet-comics-phone-slave-483007.jpeg Getting distracted all the time, buzzfeeding, upworthing. And the rot isnt just digital, it physical and very very real. We’re consuming, the beacon of democracy which go about destroying nations on false allegations is suffering from an obesity epidemic! World food supply has exceeded world food demand but people still go hungry and we have an obesity epidemic at the same time!! Be mindful, lets not be lizards
