Three things:

1) ‘They’re either trying to teach me something like my old high school geography teacher or they’re trying to be funny like my old high school geography teacher.’

This is the heart of the matter. Both extremely sad and absurdly hilarious

2) If phones could somehow break down those daily 8 hours of phone time into whether you genuinely enjoyed them, got shit done, or were just glumly wasting time and getting angry I doubt the first two categories would add up to more than a single hour for the vast majority of people.

3) This piece, for me at least, is further evidence that the Soaring Twenties Social Club might well be the only game in town, the only people trying to make real shit for the right reasons. And honestly, it saddens me to say that. I want friendly rivals who inspire me/us to be better.

Great essay here, Craig.
