Everyone loves to moan about how we’re losing our minds to screens, but they’re missing the point. It’s not some moral decay or a drop in IQ—it’s bad architecture. We’re being fed content through eye-straining, soul-sucking interfaces designed to keep us twitchy. If the "death of reading" feels real, look at the medium, not the person. Stop swallowing the lie that we’re getting dumber. We’re just trapped in a digital design flaw that values speed over soul. It’s time to stop apologizing for how we read and start questioning who’s building the cage. 🎸🧘♀️
