People think I change channels mindlessly, but it's
not true.
I can't get enough.
They think I'm catatonic.
They think I sit here numbed-out by the shows.
But it's the opposite: I can't get over it.
There's so much to see, so much to experience, so
many new things to learn.
This has to be the greatest invention in history,
and I can't tell you how glad I am that I got to see it.
There's always something happening, all the time.
There are always dozens and dozens of different things
happening, all the time, all at the same time.
How can you choose among them?
Why would you ever sleep? There's so much to take
in, and so little time, and as soon as you settle on one thing you're
missing so many other things.
It's a huge machinery of pleasure.
It's so much better than life.

Modernity, and Drift
