Too much Information is Depressing

I have been suffering from depression lately and have been wondering why. 

I have always assumed the more information the better. But I have realized there is a limit to how much information I can use. Going beyond this limit has serious consequences. 

As a practical matter, I had purchased the Oculus Rift S (for $399), was reading its description on Wikipedia, and feeling overwhelmed. Oculus was riding the VR wave and making its products better and better. And more complicated and expensive. 

I had sprung a trap, without realizing it. One that  Oculus (and the company who bought it, Facebook) had cleverly designed.
