I have a friend like this. I think the constant working from age 18 has given him no time for learning how to spend time alone and enjoy his day. Even on his day off he seeks the "busy" of his work day by asking people to hang out and spending his whole day out, often getting drunk in the process. He has no idea how people who dont work can fill up their days without going into depressive spirals

Directed to my first assessment, this time assuming that the internet is not a real representation of the world, which is an easy assumption that many of you will agree with, would there be any real benefit from leaving the cave and switching the world view away from the internet.

>I am not talking about nofap, internet addiction or NEET lifestyle not am I talking about VR simulation.

With the shadows Plato talked about being as complicated as what we have today and the easy ability to leave and re-enter the "cave", why are world views so polarized?

Many people I know, myself included, express preference falsification on many topics like politics, romance, social issues and behavior. They hide or express views depending on the reality they are immersed, wether it be out of the cave or in front of the shadows.
