Being connected to the #noosphere does possess a real danger to out-shadow the local world & what one & those around them can and are doing.
I dislike the idea as it's phrased because it's all stick & not carrot. It has "over" in the name which by definition is bad but I feel like people have some really great modes when they are super heavily stimulated, but they need conduits for it to matter, for it to feed into things one can do or learn from or expand from. The danger to me is so much of the stimulation is parasocial, that it doesn't really intersect with our own agencies or agencies we really brush up against, except very very indirectly.
Curating a local locus if high control can be hard when also staying plugged into the firehouse. But I still recommend trying it!!
