>"self-improvement",
What's wrong with self-improvement? Virtue is what we should always be striving for. And in a Utilitarian culture where the highest moral value is "do what you want as long as you don't harm others", a maxim even a worm follows, it is no wonder that so many people feel like they need to strive for something better. After all, it used to be the duty of parents, the state, and the community to instill virtue in children. Now that the family and community has collapsed and the state takes no interest in such matters, it is up to people themselves to become virtuous through sheer force of will. This is an almost impossible task but it is an admirable one.

Consider that the world's fattest societies have the largest "dietary" industries. Yet these societies are still increasingly obese. What use is so-called self-improvement to such people? It is another object to consume!

Bro, this is so stupid, I'm sorry. What if she isnt on social media at all, but reading the Bible or something? Just because she is reading it on a phone and not from a physical book, you say its bad. That makes no sense, phones are much more versatile than you give them credit for

this versatility of phones is precisely what makes them pernicious as a medium. they have many legitimate uses but whatever pragmatic reason you have to carry one is irrelevant - the danger of smartphone usage is in the margins, in the cumulative effect of those five minutes every day where you're waiting for the bus and hey, this thing you intended to read books on is already in your pocket and it's not worth starting a new chapter when you only have five minutes so let's just scroll twitter for a bit or play a game, oh and what's that notification. say goodbye to your brain. "i'll only use mine to read the bible" - sure, and that wooden horse will only stand in the city square and look majestic.
