In this week's discussion, John recalls the tale of Cousin Homer and his sweet Black Labrador and Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen in Saint Joseph, Missouri (Trigger Warning: the dog has passed away - what's magical is what happened afterwards). Then, Sam discusses the reality of the great long-form reading cavity in our lives (our longform reading stamina is at an all-time low while simultaneously reading more words-per-day than our forefathers. Yikes!) and what we can do about it, to which John uses that as an opportunity to dive deeper into the complexities of dopamine, homeostasis, and the impact of modern media on mental health. John and Sam discuss the challenges of willpower in the face of constant stimulation and the importance of gradual reduction in media consumption, while Daniel prompts them both at the end about what routines they each adhere to for their own form of homeostasis.
