We are discussing local news in a small town in Japan, thousands of miles away for most of us; and how social media is an attention-wasting time-sink for other people. We need to help those other people.

If I discuss the stars and planets online am I even wasting more time? It's distance the factor that makes it a waste?

As I read "Comet crossed jupiter's rings at blazing speed!" some guy looks at me at tells me to live in the moment. Thanks.

  • My only position is we should not be quick to judge (or "help"), particularly if we're doing similar things to what we're help-judging others for doing.
