The point I was trying to make is that even within "unproductive time" there are extremely healthy, and extremely unhealthy ways to spend it.

Someone introduced me to the idea of "mental diet" a while ago. I find it to be an interesting concept. We know not to spend hours of our time eating junk food because it's not good for our physical health, why do we never consider our mental health in a similar way?

Doomscrolling is just filling your brain up with mental junk. Most content on the modern internet is just mental junk honestly. And spending hours reading and getting invested in all of this crap really does affect your headspace for the rest of the day.

Lions, by comparison, have a very pure and healthy mental diet.
