“An aversion to boredom and a low tolerance for delayed gratification are at the root of binge culture. ... we have become a 'bingey society' because 'our souls aren't being attended to, in the world that we live in -- and so, we stuff them. With work, with food, with leisure. We're greedy. It comes from being given too much and at the same time too little.' Or as Oscar Wilde put it, 'Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.”
