Really glad I’ve started to prioritize reading books and essays again

Ever since I discovered video games as a kid, I de-prioritized reading books as I believed they would slow me down and well, just weren’t as fun

I was very wrong, they’ve not only enabled me to identify signal, but also digest other forms of media way faster

Prioritizing dopaminergic video games slowly eroded my ability to think fast (and in general), leading me to seek similar forms of content

Thus creating a strong habit of endlessly consuming without thinking 

Not saying video games are bad, I’m just glad to be prioritizing reading again during this era of information onslaught

Real, feel like they add ridges to the brain and video content smooths them

Both feel necessary, just not over weight

Books are dumbells for the mind 🏋‍♂️
