So true. Social media is like being thirsty in the ocean. You look around and all you see is ‘water’ but it’s salt water.
The more you drink, the faster you die of dehydration.

Entertainment disguised as knowledge.

I asked the question: “people who love to read biographies - why?”
It got ~500 replies, and my favorite was this:
“Entertainment disguised as knowledge”
It got me thinking, what else is entertainment disguised as knowledge?
100% of the news
100% of Twitter
99% of podcasts
90% of business books / biographies
This newsletter :)
These are content traps. Booby traps for your brain.
So then I got curious – if there’s entertainment disguised as insight… then there must be the reverse too! INSIGHT disguised as ENTERTAINMENT
Eg.
South Park – a silly vulgar cartoon, that actually has a lot of insightful things to say
Standup Comedy – Dave Chapelle doesn’t really tell jokes anymore. He just tells the truth, in a way that’s disguised as humor
Disney/Pixar – instead of going to bible study or being lectured about morality, watching a single Pixar movie will teach a valuable lesson while keeping you entertained (whether you’re 5 years old or 50)
Note to self: more of this, less of the first stuff.

“The past was not as good as you remember, the present is not as bad as it seems, and the future will be better than you anticipate.”
Probably one of my favorite episodes so far from the @morganhousel podcast. 👌🏻
