Question: what is the midwit matrix (airport non-fiction, most self-help book content, "pop sci", other insight pornos) if not a sign of "impotent curiosity"? https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/book-review-sadly-porn https://robkhenderson.substack.com/p/the-logic-of-envy

If so, what is the Viagra of curiosity to steer one away from these voyeuristic mediums? Or too many people are already in a state of "no deep energy"? (sorry for the vulgarity)
