Not having to "work as hard" in regard to the volume of information, actually can trigger the brain to work harder in other areas
So true. You also learn what is essential. The day you learned that you let go of a lot of nonsense consumption. But in reality there is no thing as non sense consumption. Every trash or gold out there has a place and people to consume.
Journey starts from the Essentials then Luxury then Charity then contentment. That is the equation of life I suppose.
In some sense yes, but I do think a lot of what we spend our time on is nonsense in the sense it doesn't bring us the value ew could have if doing something else. A lot of it, the value is so low, it is like eating cardboard and calling it steak.
