Nassim Taleb said he doesnt read newspapers.

Nothing written there will matter to you at all. The internet is alot like that, and nearly all Curr3nt Th1ngZ are like that.

With nothing but time on my hands, I scoured the internet searching for the latest information--a process which never ends and is very difficult to break. Internet-addled is the new drug-addled.
