1. Yep.

2. Hell yeah. And I think the key here would be having the discipline to keep it turned off for more than like five seconds. I'd turn the internet off for at least six months -- just to give our brains some time to heal. Of course, once I turned it back on it'd only take a few weeks to get back to where we were. See: SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

3. Human vs. printer epitomizes the travails of the technological revolution. I think the engineers do it on purpose, to test our resolve.

4. I miss iPods as standalone music players. The OG iPod was pretty dang cool, and I'm hoping Apple cynically makes a new one to capture the "retro market" in a few years.

5. Keynesian leisure -- allegedly.

That actually sounds like a cool job. Better than corrupt Wall Street analyst, at least.
