I think this article brings out some very important points - we are mistakenly equating information to wisdom - and there is so much truth to that. I will indeed take a hiatus from me constantly checking HackerNews. I already cut down Instagram, TikTok and other social media (since there were constantly making me feel FOMO, inadequate and literally too much information)

As the article states, Information can be ... a simulation that, when consumed without limits, can weaken our ability to experience the real thing.

(I replace a word with ... so that the actual point is not missed or derailed).

Good bye for now.
