Chris Best founded Substack, which makes it easy to create subscription newsletters. In part of this interview, he talks about how social media has become this thing that you’re addicted to but often times wish it was better. He describes the information diet and how he wants to give people choice:

“But our job is not to sit here and make you eat your vegetables and say, you know, you should be reading high-fiber information dense scientific reading and nothing else. Our job is to let to put the decision back in your hands and let you make it as your best self. So instead of deciding what you’re going to spend your time on by, you know doing one more scroll through your Twitter feed as you’re about to fall asleep and clicking on the thing that you know that pokes your lizard brain the hardest we like to take a step back and look at your life and think.”
