Internet Brain

A malady in which one enters a state of mind that recognizes the value of network effects but becomes unmoored from common humanistic principles lost in the contemplation of said network effects.

Symptoms:

* Every thought is filtered through how this might appear or be perceived when shared online.

* Every idea is immediately productized into an app, site or platform
* Shallow rationalizations and/or detachment from the effects of ones own actions

Cures:
* Gardening

* Community service
* Mediation and prayer

Person A: Wouldn't it be cool if we did a stunt where we sold flame throwers to the general public?

Person B: I feel like you've got a bad case of internet brain.
