Wow this brought back some memories! I think most of us would have gone through this if you are around my age! I feel like growing up in the late eighties early nineties, it was simpler times. But then again, not sure if things are worse now or if they have always been bad? Maybe the internet/social media just makes us see more of how messed up the world is as opposed to the nineties when we didn’t really have as much access to people and information. But yeah... unplugging every once in a while is definitely a good shout! Great read once again.
Hah! Your console wars reference hit home for me. How might we create a new tribe that rejects the divisive tribal choices presented by the mainstream while embracing the common goodness desire by all gamers?
Finding “common ground” seems illegal at this point. When I can find it with someone it makes conversations, and just being around them much easier. I mostly keep to myself (besides the occasional twitter shit post) politics in my late teen years made me unlikeable to half and likable to half. I’d rather just be me to the masses. So I dropped the politics, and started just living not worried about what the entire corrupt government both and left and right are doing. After all I can’t single handedly change the outcome so what’s the point?
Great read billiam. You should release a book id say. (Unless you have one and I’m lost.)
It’s like I was sent back in time to younger me re-living almost that exact moment in time.
So true on how tribalism is engrained and we have to actively self evaluate to remain in a pseudo neutral state.
The trick is having an opinion and understanding why, but then also continuing to “check yourself” to make sure you haven’t given in to that tribalistic nature.
