Recently, I’ve been browsing Medium before going to bed some nights. If you don’t know, Medium is a publishing platform with just about any topic being talked about in-depth by various members of the site. There are dozens of posts about just about anything you could imagine wanting to read about at the tip of your fingers, and for free if you go about reading the “member only” posts in a roundabout way. For that reason, I’ve come to enjoy browsing the thousands of articles at my disposal; finding out about things I would not have thought about researching about on my own. Did you know that back in 2013, scientists found what they hypothesized to be exoplanets that could contain life only to find out that they could not contain life by any chance in 2019? Now you get to be sad over this with me. One thing that has caught my attention since I’ve started browsing the site though, is that there seems to be an overwhelming amount of posts chasing after this one concept that bleeds into multiple topics on the site such as philosophy, psychology, and life among others. Everyone is chasing after an ideal reality that they will not reach, regardless of how many articles that give them the supposed “essential 5 tips to bettering your life” they consume.
