I don't think the problem is social media but the curation of them. It is very rare to see something that shocks me on a bad way through my feed. Just like in our lives we need to build around us, the problem is that most social media won't let us. Taking charge in life is very hard, capitalism profits a lot on convenience. Sometimes the means of change is taken from us, especially on the digital world (this is where the problem lies).

I have somewhat quit gaming as well. The problem is that I always feel like I am missing out. It taught me so much, surely there are still titles that would blow my mind, make me question reality or introduce me to deep philosophical questions. The truth is that mostly I feel like games are a waste of time. I have never come full closure on it. It seems weird not using the medium since it exercises the brain way more than other mindless activities.
Is it worth getting into it now? Without rose tinted glasses I mean. Or are there better alternatives? (Shattered Pixel Dungeon for example). I have tried Shattered Pixel but found it too nonsensical, having to learn tons of mechanics that don't seem to make sense other than trial and error and huge RNG (which I am not a fan of).
How?
