Episode Synopsis

this is about escaping the noise of platforms and constant connectivity. I reflect on why acclimating to digital silence can feel stark, lonely, and hard, at first. it's like how the body feels on "airplane mode," or when when waking up in a forest after a decade in a cramped city apartment. in this episode, I explore how and why platforms (by design) turn us into static noise. I share my personal experiments on digital minimalism and solitude -- as a way of practicing more presence and here/now-ness, wherever you are. this is a meditation on digital silence as a rich landscape, showing you a deeper way into the self. related12 experiments in digital freedom (from 2020, in Japan)a day without screens (2020) why I don't use email or social media before noon (from 2016, back when I was still on social)~🏡 explore ⁠⁠house on the webs course🌀 explore creative systems course🪷 inquire about ⁠⁠advising sessions⁠⁠💧 ⁠⁠water⁠⁠ my world 💌 receive ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠my letters⁠
