This is both very funny and rings remarkably true. The person in this statement is a sort-of “hipster” born 30 years too soon. He’ll say “I enjoy the ritual and deliberate action”, and so on. You’ll think to yourself “Really?” and make an effort to listen.
Extremely compelling viewpoint. My phone is on do-not-disturb almost all the time, but I can definitely see that manifested in a more physical way. I certainly enjoy it. When people ask questions like “what if something bad happens and you don’t know about it?” My answer always involves keeping a keen eye for smoke, crowds of people running in one direction, and the whitelisted contacts in my phone that can still ring through. I really can’t think of anything else that can’t wait.
