It makes sense that the fattest, most passively entertained and comfortable people in all of history also have the least faith. It seems to simply be following human nature and history.

“By tuning in to diversionary pleasures, we are actually tuning out; we are all addicts of the momentary rush of dopamine that sundry amusement, from jogging to drug use, gives us.”

If I had to choose, I’d prefer more jogging culture and less screen culture. We are probably way closer to something like Brave New World than 1984, in my opinion.

For all the fat, passive, and overly comfortable people, the internet is full of those focusing on growing trends of cooking, physical fitness, survivalism, firearms proficiency, outdoor adventures, and how-to skills. There are more "gear heads" on the internet showing all their creations and modifications to cars and motorcycles.

It's two worlds; those seeking somma in their four walls of artificial reality and those embracing all the education available from other regular individuals online and then going out and doing it.

During the Scamdemic, television viewing went down while barbecue grills, bicycles, and firearms got harder and harder to find.
