@internet.anthropology: What’s the nutritional value of the content you’re consuming? Will content diets become more important as we live our lives more online than offline? #internetanthropology #anthrotok #food #substack #bookclub #johnmulaney #dualipa #celebritybookclub #books #bookstylist #whatiread #BookTok #CapCut
in my mind there are clear differences between consuming everything from an algorithm vs from one persons recommendations. word of mouth continues to be most goated method of spreading info.

📚 Just started a year-long experiment: sticking to one print news source and reading one physical book a week. No scrolling, no noise—just deep focus. Let’s see what clarity feels like.

Feel like this all stems from classism. The 1% enjoy a luxury until it is mass produced. This shift the attention to the rare or unique

Restriction is needed in a world of abundance! And we are so bad at it.

these are great parallels, i look at these patterns as forms of literacy in different types of consumption, where you make more informed decisions with a better understanding of how they impact you. perhaps a parallel to the moral high ground you mention

someone watch the hank green videos on how information is similar to food.I honesty think it's not something to conquer but allows people to show others more options

I relly hope my kids will look at our media consumption with the same disused as we do towards jello salads from the 70s

Interesting to think about in a Marxist context. I wonder what Yanis Varoufakis would think; his book Technofeudalism seems really applicable here, particularly in terms of how even a content diet would contribute to implicit data labor.

Health and longevity will always be aspirational. I have always been on a digital diet working behind the scenes. It's not good for you lol we all definitely understand that
