Here are 3 perspectives that I learned in a decade but you can learn in 1 minute:

Finished a seven day social media fast. It feels like the most effective longevity therapy I've done.

Everything got better: mood, sleep, energy, presence, judgment, relationships, and optimism.

Evidence shows a seven day fast produces a reduction of anxiety (16%), depression (25%) and insomnia (15%). The effects felt bigger.

Conversely, dipping back in, I can viscerally feel that my body metabolizes social media similarly to a fast food meal, corrosive relationship, hangover, and sleep deprivation. My body hates it.

After the previous fasts (40/hr and 70hr), I wrote that social media is pollution.  Not a vice or guilty pleasure. It’s closer to water toxins, air pollution and microplastics.

This time, the major insight was that social media is a form of intoxication.

Alcohol is honest intoxication. It clearly tells you what it's taking from you. Social media on the other hand does not disclose itself as an intoxicant.

It produces the sensation of being informed, engaged, and connected while quietly evacuating your capacity for depth and independent thought.

You don’t feel drunk, you feel current. But evidence shows that it causes your brain to shrink. The impairment is real by you can't feel it. Making it the more dangerous type.

If you haven't tried it, I strongly encourage you to try a social media fast. Even if for one day.

@hritik_bali Selections of Washington Sunder, Nitish Reddy and Harshit Rana show the team's lack of confidence on their batting. I wonder if this attack is capable of taking 20 wickets.

@hritik_bali @wwasay This did not age well!

I can already see the headlines…

[Vipul Vaid @vaid_vipul28]

@bhogleharsha Zaheer, Harbhajan, Kumble were our 8,9,10 in the Natwest Trophy final. All of them had the ability to hang around or hit sixes. The same team had Sachin, Sehwag, Ganguly, Mongia and Yuvraj as 5th bowling options. There wasn’t much T20s at that time . What changed?

My name is Muhil, and I first came to the United States when I was 2 years old. Despite living here lawfully for two decades, I did not receive my green card with my family because I aged out.

Is it better to be a small fish in a big pond or a big fish in a small pond?

Been thinking about this a lot recently.
