Something I keep wondering about: For as far as I can recall there has always been something people are addicted to. In the 90s and early 2000s people were worried about TV time. Now that attention has moved around a bit: Netflix, facebook, instagram, YouTube, etc. So, who cares? Do people worrying about this have some grand idea that if humans legislated this addiction away then.. what?

People can make decisions about where to spend their attention with a lesser burden of addiction design. That's it and that's a fine goal.
