I believe that in 100 years people will look back at our consumption of anti-social media the same way, we're looking back at doctors refusing to wash their hands before delivering.

Your body can deal with many things on it's own, but once there are cities with a million people in them, and railroads and steamboats zig-zagging between them, hygiene has to be a conscious effort.

Much same way, it's not your fault, if your mind can't handle all the shit the internet landscape throws at it.

One easy way I found is to have an older smartphone (S4 mini), without any cheap mobile internet access. (This works very well in Germany, as we have almost no free wifi). This way I only allow myself podcasts, which I chose to download before leaving the house.
