“But what if I crash out because I feel chopped about not being locked in on what a rizzler is?” lol great read and love the topic.
As someone who’s gen z and doesn’t drink (anymore) I wonder also if aside from increased isolation other factors that have contributed include: easier access to cannabis/alternative substances, higher costs of going out, and a larger movement of people prioritizing their health.
I agree I think there are definitely other factors too, I am also straying away from drinking because being hungover eats up half a day and the carcinogenic effects of alcohol are very significant.
Incredible piece, Sonya! I love the historical and philosophical ideas you wove into your argument. I expected to see some more generic takes -- digital minimalism, analog renaissance, etc. Yet, you planted your own flag and made a unique statement on the matter.
I dig your focus on utilitarianism. Funnily enough, I think the strength of this argument is in how it subverts expectations. It's easy to hear detractors claim that these changes and ideas are simply impractical, but even the word "utilitarian" might stop their mouth and start their brain.
Great work! I have something planned for this subject myself. I can't wait to see how the community grows. Keep it up.
Great article! I also think a part of the addictive nature of social media apps is rather caused by automatic (unconscious) rituals, so if we regain our awareness and stay in the present moment, maybe we can control those behavior loops.
