I think this is really telling:

"By late 2012, I'd learned how to make a new style of wrong choices off the internet. I abandoned my positive offline habits, and discovered new offline vices."

Basically - you just find new bad habits...!

Yeah that's what I thought as well, especially when he mentioned how people before would just sit in front of the tv instead of online. Still, I'm not sure if it makes a difference how easily accessible the specific bad habits are. I have a tv at home and can watch it specifically there, but I carry my online bad habits around with me all the time, available at the slightest hint of boredom.

I think it's that idea that everyone has a great book/project in them if they only had TIME, free from distraction. But the reality is that they probably don't, even if given the opportunity! Slightly depressing TBH. Shows motivation and will is ultimately more important and things like the internet are just a comforting excuse.
