Johann Hari
“The web, by contrast, is “less than ten thousand days old.”
Johann Hari, Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention—and How to Think Deeply Again

Søren Kierkegaard
“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being & walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, & the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.”
Søren Kierkegaard

Daniel Immerwahr
“Arthur MacArthur IV,”
Daniel Immerwahr, How to Hide an Empire: A History of the Greater United States

Whitney Phillips
“Such was the argument of Bothered about Dungeons & Dragons (BADD) founder Patricia Pulling, who blamed her son’s 1982 suicide on a curse he received during a D&D session.”
Whitney Phillips, You Are Here: A Field Guide for Navigating Polarized Speech, Conspiracy Theories, and Our Polluted Media Landscape

Robert D. Putnam
“The timing of the Internet explosion means that it cannot possibly be causally linked to the crumbling of social connectedness described in previous chapters. Voting, giving, trusting, meeting, visiting, and so on had all begun to decline while Bill Gates was still in grade school.”
Robert D. Putnam, Bowling Alone: Revised and Updated: The Collapse and Revival of American Community
