Due to my own virtuous laziness, I still haven’t gotten around to de-activating my stupid LinkedIn account (…). Some guy is proud that he set aside his social life so that he could unleash four extremely psychologically damaging apps on the world by the age of 30. Or it’s like, “Congratulate Lisa on her new job as advertising director for Nestlé in Africa.”
Here’s a productivity idea: Just, fucking, don’t make shitty apps, or do advertising for Nestlé, or really for anything. (…) Just stay in bed. Whenever I am back in the Protestant centers of modern capitalism (New York or London, basically), it’s especially jarring to remember what it feels like to treat being busy as if it were a virtue.
