“Digital distraction keeps the mind occupied but
does little to nurture it, much less cultivate depth of feeling, which requires
the resonance of another’s voice within our very bones and psyches. To really
listen is to be moved physically, chemically, emotionally, and intellectually
by another person’s narrative.”—American journalist Kate Murphy, You're Not Listening: What You're Missing and Why It Matters (2020)

BANG THEORY. In this scene, the show’s nerd-geniuses are caught up in their
video games, with zero interest in their significant others.)
