@SydSteyerhart Likewise I don’t think it's much to do with phones or any of this… similar lamentations were heard about TV, and radio before that, yet didn’t manage to herald such a dearth of innovation as now.
@SydSteyerhart IQ decline has been eroding aggregate creativity for awhile now (Dutton, Woodley).
Escalating risk aversion in more recent decades—from hyperregulation, demographic fragmentation, monetary debasement, etc—has certainly amplified this trend.
@rawmilkhoney Ironic so many wordcels in thread not understanding what 'quick-witted' means, as if rxn times aren’t g-loaded (esp. vis-a-vis ↑ task complexity).
@TakeThiamine Got this Nillkin foldout I'm happy with. Feels similar in use to Apple fullsize keyboards. Pricey I suppose, but I'm picky about these things.

@adrusi That's really weird to me. I remember thinking at 4yrs old about how a future me would recall moments I found myself in, so I started making intentional efforts to study my surroundings at various times to ensure I'd burn those given moments into memory.
