10 uses of maximalist philosophy:

Maximalist Mindset- A mindset in which any potential for benefit is enough to start using a technology that catches your attention.
In this mindset, it is advertised that more is good.  We use something thinking that it will benefit us in future even though the chance may be less than 5%.

1. Whatsapp: We might think that it will help us to get in touch with people but its overall harm is bigger than its advantages. The only advantage I see is when I have to talk to people who are living outside India. We open it more  no of times than the no of messages we get in a day.
2. Facebook: Rather than knowing what people are upto, I find myself scrolling on unnecessary videos. It has no positive use overall.Today, We don't need connectedness in our lives but solitude. F
3. Reading news: If often happens that we read news in the hope that we might not miss on something important. 90% of the things i read are not relevant to me. Overall also, News has negative impact on human mind.
4. Finding a partner: We go to clubs /malls/tinder to find a partner or for hookups but i think the overall time investment is huge. The better way will be to not chase this. Do you what you like to do and trust on god to make it happen. Finding good books is easy than finding a partner.
5. Instagram: I am an engineer and i see no value in using Instagram. To be influenced by thoughts of other person is a negative thing. Seeing how others people are dressed isn't going to make my life better. Instead use that time to write theories or to learn something on coursera.
6. Trying food in multiple restaurants to find the best one- Often becoming a victim of your taste senses can waste a lot of your time. Try to eat healthy food and you always have lesser options to choose from. Fast food not only has a impact on your physical health but also on mental and emotional health.
7. Checking Mail more than 3 times in a day.- Checking mail in office is kinda like a sneak peak activity. Its something we do to get away from the current boring task. But we may not get that much mails making most of our trips to mailbox useless
8. Youtube: Finding something valuable on Youtube is a lot difficult. The trending section and recommended section is full of bullshit. Find some other way to discover valuable channels. More often than not, I think you should not use Youtube more than 30 minutes a week.
9. Twitter:Again the probability of finding something life changing is very less. It's better not to waste your life on that little probability. Books have better content and they are pretty much focused on one topic which is the best way to gain knowledge.
10. Quora: I have used Quora a lot . The problem with Quora I think is diversity in answers. I think human mind should not expose itself to completely unrelated things in a short span. It has negative impacts. Ads and displaying news are other problems. Most of the answers are just collection of images. Its better than other social platforms but nothing beats the offline reading experience. For the time being, I would say good bye to quora.
11. Movies: Its about the time here. Spending 3 hours on a movie--  I would spend that time to read a book or write something or just do nothing. Once the internet knows which movies you liked, it is going to bombard you with recommendations. Its a big loop.
12. Comedy/Entertainment: If primary aim of any video is entertainment, then drop that thing. Today, the goal of any information should be to make you think. We differ from animals because we can think. As technology grows, the only way we are going to distinguish ourselves from machines is by our ability to think. If any thing is providing you passive information, you should avoid that. Comedy is also a way of escapism.
13. Escapism: Society thinks its good to have some form of escapism. But I dont agree . Escapism is a lot like drugs. Its better to find the root cause of any problem than avoiding the problem or escaping to something pleasurable.
