also I think Boondocks has done a hell of a job satirizing this and many other issues while getting a point across very clearly author is definetely a Huey

Nice wordsmithing, quite self indulgent while presenting to be benevolent. I do agree with a lot of points but conclusions are a miss. I would say that the biggest issue here is that the world is accelerating more and more. Information barrage is intense and squeezing books for entertainment is a non-trivial task. While author talks about US, similar trends are present globally without the force of spooky “imperialistic hand”.

9.5h is already quite generous tbh

we have about 6h now where I live now and spent a few years further up north where it is even darker
