I've been having fun just sort of watching this process unfold in my mind.

That process is, I really think that this is something that like hasn't been articulated like in the culture.

Really too, too much yet or too well.

Like I've written some things about it I've talked about it

here and there but what I'm getting at is this cultural epidemic of urgency and tension and it's like

just melted into all of our lives over the last five years or so, so much that we don't really

realize that it's even happened. And that just to kind of define that urgency I'm talking

about is that is always feeling like you're always stuck on your phone obviously there's a

compulsion to be there you know to be on the phone all the time there is a

kind of you have a reply guilt around communication it's like you get an email

you get a text message there's this feeling of being pinged and being

notified where now you're sort of like,

as I've said before, like a customer service agent of your entire, of your whole life, you know,

of your reality. So there's like tension around like, oh, I should I should reply to that now.

I don't want to reply now because then I'll get into a conversation out of time for that.

Or I don't want to forget because then, you know, I'll be whatever, I'll get into a conversation out of time for that or I don't want to forget

because then you know I'll be whatever I'll seem like I don't care I'll seem rude or if you don't

actually want to reply to someone then you just leave them you know with no response and that

obviously sends a message as well um and so there's a lot of, you know, stuff like that.

Obviously, the amount of digital influence that our brains get hit with every day, it's

crazy.

The amount of news that we're getting blasted and manipulated with every day is crazy.
