Thanks as ever for sharing these thoughts! Brought to mind two things: the Japanese concept of silence during musical performances (ma) sounds super relevant for what you’re doing; and I 100% appreciate how your work is drawing attention to the “bovine interactions” we’ve (civilizationally) become inured to. It’s not only technology’s “fault”, but we do need to start examining how / why we’ve gotten to a place where we are chronically fatigued because of our bovine tendencies. How to say “no!” is arguably going to be one of the most critical yet difficult things I can impart to my kids. Thanks Julian!
Hey Mila, thanks for hipping me to "ma" and "bovine interactions." I had never heard of either lol. Our chronic fatigue ironically makes us unaware of how fatigued we are. It's weird how saying "no" can take as much energy as saying "yes," if not sometimes more so!
