I had to unsub from Luke Stephens after hearing him throw that insult about hbomberguy needing more testosterone. Most toxic thing I've heard all week...
I love the playlist of worthy queer creators he gave. Not only was it an almost 4 hour video, now I have to watch another 12ish hours of random video essays to decide who else I want to follow!
Replace mindless entertainment with enriching entertainment. E.g. YouTube video essays, lectures, history podcasts, DuoLingo, Anki, Brilliant, artsy/niche movies/games, etc. Always be learning something, even if you'll never need it. Try to limit yourself to memorable, unique, or mind-opening content.
It's no fix, but it trains your brain to be able to wait just a little longer for its dopamine. Also you get to feel like you're sort-of achieving something, not just losing time every time your impulsive brain takes over.
I'm intermediate level in 3 languages, know a shit ton of science, and have played thousands of unique indie games. Is any of this useful? lol no. But do I feel accomplished and in control of some big parts of my life? Hell yes.
