The Dangers of Overstimulation and Endless Entertainment

In today's world, rest has become increasingly challenging due to overstimulation and the abundance of entertainment options available through platforms like Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Netflix, Hulu, and more. The constant engagement with these platforms creates a Bermuda triangle of social media, leading individuals to be miserable despite being entertained. The book 'Infinite Jest' by David Foster Wallace accurately depicts how society is entertaining themselves to death, with examples like people gaming for 48 hours straight without taking breaks. The fatally entertaining nature of modern entertainment does not leave room for true rest, even when it may appear that one is resting while engaging with their devices.
