I sometimes just don't pay my internet bill for the summer and touch grass. I'll still torrent stuff off my work wifi and post on work wifi but it means if I'm at home I can't Google things. I have totally found with the first time doing so which was for like 2 years cause poverty that I was thinking things through more carefully and there were a lot of answers that I could put together with what I already know and some logic. It can be good to operate without instant resources to information
Yes, I am serious but I am also joking about Butlerian Jihad. It's not just that people need to touch grass, people need to engage with the greater world around them unmediated at least in some capacity. Part of the existential shithole that is living in the west is the hyper-atomization. insert sappy paragraph about how love is the antidote, engage with the people and wildlife in your life and the planet itself on whatever terms in any capacity.
I just like doing my own thinking. I'm not far from a library where there are lots of books and people trained to help me get the ones I need to learn the thing I want to learn, the longer it takes to get an answer the better the answer usually
Exactly what I'm yapping about.
I guess for me personally it's less about the atomization angle cause I socialize a decent amount and have some degree of community going on and having more 'friction' constant instant gratification in any form is bad
