Otherwise, I don't really use temperature for anything other than converting to and from Kelvin, which is easier with C.

    I've found, when it comes to the internet making my attention span shorter and me reading less- it's not that I can't hold my attention on a book. it's that my standards have raised, so that now it's book vs internet instead of book vs be bored. I still find myself being sucked into books, even book series, and the internet makes it much easier to buy an entire series in a day (I read on my phone). but a book I don't enjoy as much? I'll stop after a page or two, come back, repeat a few times, and eventually never look at it again, when previously it was better than nothing.

    • @greenredblue
      @greenredblue 4 года назад +13

      I think it's possible for someone to _believe_ this is their mindset, but really they've just acclimated to instant gratification.
      The human brain is wired to prefer strong bursts of dopamine, especially if those bursts are unpredictable. That's why gambling can be so addictive. So you read one clever comment or post, and the high will carry you through an ocean of garbage until you find the next one. But when you've trained on that and then are faced with a project like a whole book, now your preferences have shifted to the point where you can't get through it unless every page is rewarding you. This won't help much when trying to read something like a philosophical treatise or the federalist papers or Jules Verne.
      I'm not saying books are inherently better or that you don't know your own mind, but I am saying that it seems like this position, especially for people who don't realize how bad their _average_ reading diet has become, could easily just be a rationalization.

    Thank you for your explanation on why favorites seem to get more pointless as time goes on. I found it mirrored my feelings on the matter perfectly.
    Funny thing is I remember _having_ favorites in my younger days. A favorite band, movie, show, video game, ice cream, yadda yadda yadda. But for the life of me I can't even remember what any of them were.
    I feel like having a favorite is like another way of saying, "Nothing else in my life will please me the way this has," but as time has gone on, I have found of ton of shows, movies, games, and so on that have entertained me and have kept me engaged/distracted.
    All that being said, Neon Genesis Evangelion is _still_ my favorite series, if my username wasn't already an indication, and I don't see that changing any time soon.
