It’s curious that people can be more than one person; like multiple personality disorder, but not the disorder. A thing that is made by life, but does not contain life, can take away life. Do you know somebody who has indirectly died by technology? It has such small mass, but it has such a strong pull on the brain. It gives power and authority never felt before, but based in insecurity, not confidence. We don’t consume it like smoke or sugar, but we also kinda do.
