These words are beyond perfect….its all such a struggle. I always say I liked life better before the internet. My 20- something kids look at me like I’m from another galaxy when I say this. I mean it to the depths of my soul.
I go out without my phone a lot these days. Whole Saturdays where it just sits at home on the charger. I do have my apple watch so I can get messages or use maps, if I need it. Thinking about leaving it at home more, and instead of a phone, carrying a small digital camera in my front jean pocket to take pictures. That's all I need.
If I do have my phone with me, I will not want to but still read it while I walk around the city. I will look at it while walking the dog. I have this sense of let me get through these emails now, so I can do other stuff later. It's hard to resist. I've trained myself to be as productive as possible, now time to reconsider the value of that.
Well said. I like the part about dishonoring that which dehumanizes us. Not every person and the things they create are for us. Honor your humanity and call that which is worthless and that which is a waste of your time what it is: BS
Are liberation depends on us staying the course and not becoming distracted by nonsense
After seeing that one tik tok of a guy getting backlash for saying "stop talking to AI" from thousands of people i felt i needed a permanent social media detox
