Disconnect from the matrix

As humans there is so much we do not understand and yet we have as a species become conditioned to be content and have lost our greatest asset, the ability to be curious.

The tech that is supposed to improve our lives is rapidly destroying our cognitive skills and is turn us into dopamine junkies plugged into a computer network that sucks our lives away.

As far as we get now, for example, is if we don’t know something we rely on Google instead of our brains. We accept without question almost everything that we are fed, whatever we read, see, hear…it must be true, right!

Madness.

Stay curious, ask questions, disconnect from the matrix, choose a meaningful life connected to other humans.

Old school tickets

We can get virtually any ticket delivered to our smartphones, yet at my coworking space plenty of people myself included, OK so I am old, but most of the others are young, still print off their train ticket, boarding passes, and other tickets.

Why?

It’s the same reason that we still buy books, vinyl record sales are making a huge comeback, we still buy CDs, more and more people are doing art and other crafts. It’s the same reason people still buy paper notebooks when you could use Evernote.

We are humans and we like physical things, we like to hold the ticket, we trust it. We like to create with our hands and feel things in our hands.

Not everything is better in a digital version.
