“Digital Fatigue Is Real”
It’s 7:00 a.m. Your phone screen lights up. Dozens of emails, Slack messages, social media alerts, and AI-generated reminders flash before you’ve had your first sip of coffee. This is not the future.

Earlier this week I was talking to a coworker about life. After a while, we somehow got on the subject of religion.

The other day, I had a dream. I was sitting on some stairs outside, and a huge missile flew above my head and continued forward.

I accepted that this is it.
