"...and yet the essential fact remains: that for every one of us 'life is being lived uniquely and for the first time'."

It's tempting to frame this as a willpower problem.

But what if that's the wrong framing?

New edition of An Algorithmic Becoming out now.

The Offline Premium asks: can you pay your way into an offline world?

The desire to disconnect is becoming one of the defining aspirations of people who have spent most of their lives chronically online.

Digital detox is no longer a niche wellness concept. It's gone mainstream.

And yet, despite all of that, most of us can't follow through.

We set screen time limits and find loopholes. We attend phone-free events and keep our phones anyway. We download app blockers and discover the incognito window.

We want to go offline. So why is it so hard to actually do it? 🧵

Finalising an upcoming piece...

I caught up with two old school friends. We've known each other since we were 13 (?) One is a model with 400k followers on IG. One is a researcher who hit 377,000 views three months into starting his TikTok account.

I don't know if sharing stuff here still travels. But hey, it fits the theme of what I'm writing. The world is uncertain, and we gamble anyway.

I’m exploring that in my latest edition of An Algorithmic Becoming. It's on my Substack, digital field notes. If you're someone keen on reading long-forms about our lives in a tech-saturated world, I think you'd find something you'd enjoy reading there.

What if doomscrolling is a painkiller instead of a dopamine booster?

Salah satu pertanyaan yang sering lewat di kepala dan sebelum ini gak pernah menyempatkan untuk cari jawabannya: Ngapain ya scrolling-scrolling sosmed terus? Sebenernya nyari apa sih? Kalau sekarang jatuhnya udah kebiasaan aja gitu. Buka hp, buka sosmed, scroll, scroll, scroll.

Rasa-rasanya ada banyak hal yang bisa ditulis dari hidup di zaman sekarang yang selalu berkelindan dengan teknologi. Harapan aku digital field notes bisa jadi wadah buat cerita-cerita itu🙏🙏😇
