Love the laugh or log off, especially in the context of surfing. What would an adaptation for seeking wisdom be?

Absolutely, it's a nice reminder. I'm not clear what you mean by adaptation for seeking wisdom... Seeking wisdom outside of the web? Adapting to seeking wisdom online? *insert I'm-lost emoji here* Communication via web can be so limiting. 😅

You got the ideas. Was just curious how you apply that concept when looking for wisdom instead of laughs. :)

Ah! I won't pretend to have the answer, but here are my thoughts: the same idea can be applied. "Laugh" can mean to enjoy or find joy in something. So if looking for wisdom online brings you some sort of reward, then good. If not, log off. If there are, let's say conflicting views that are uncomfortable but necessary to consider to gain wisdom, I say stay grounded in reality. I love reading about stuff that challenge my belief system, and at times can be questionable/extreme. I'm just curious. I remind myself it's just one way of looking at things and there's reality that exists outside of that tiny part of the Internet with strangers who have very specific views. Reality also exists outside of what I believe to be true. So, seek wisdom while staying grounded in reality? Hope I got what you were asking this time around. Feel free to counter/expand on my ideas!
