Louis C.K. went on Conan last night to offer surprisingly profound and compelling reflections on how perpetually gazing into a smartphone changes our ability to be in the world.

"The thing is you need to build an ability to just be yourself and not be doing something, and that’s what the phones are taking away. It’s the ability to just sit there. That’s being a person, right?

You know, underneath everything in your life there’s that thing, that forever empty thing. The knowledge that it’s all for nothing and you’re alone. You know, it’s down there. Life is tremendously sad just by being in it.

When I start to get that sad feeling, I reach for the phone. You know what, don’t. Just be sad. Just let the sadness stand in the way of it. And let it hit you like a truck. You’re lucky to live sad moments. You have happiness rushing in to meet the sadness.

The thing is because we don’t want that first bit of sad, we push it away with like a little phone ****. You never feel completely sad or completely happy. You just feel kind of satisfied with your product.”
