Mihály Csíkszentmihályi
“The energy that could be used to focus on complex goals, to provide for enjoyable growth, is squandered on patterns of stimulations that only mimic reality. Mass leisure, mass culture, and even high culture when only attended to passively and for extrinsic reasons, such as the wish to flaunt one's status, are parasites of the mind. They absorb psychic energy without providing substantive strength in return. They leave us more exhausted, more disheartened than we were before.”
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience
