So well said! I have been thinking about this and similar themes a lot lately, especially as I try to disconnect from my phone and uhh find something offline to connect with?
What would I like or spend money or time on or be excited by if I didn’t have unfettered access to basically any and all topics that exist?! Is it a fruitless thought exercise bc I don’t live in that world. or is it activity with merit to try to define things of value (to me) (with or without the internet as a tool in my reality)?
How do I wake my brain up without stimulation from my phone (on dopamine and neurotransmitters, but also engaging myself to get started)? I don't see a world where I make a podcast/music start playing automatically or where my phone is in my bathroom, but surely there is something else....xx
my assumption has always been that in a non internet world i might not have the opportunity to find what excites me. so the pov i'm trying to approach online consumption from is: now that i have access to ~ everything ~ shouldn't i be using that privilege to be more intentional about defining what i value? which i think is an activity that has merit, with or without internet
and re: phones i think in my ideal life i should be excited enough for the day ahead to not need my phone to wake me up, but definitely not there yet :')
