you do understand that without phones, we ARE being forced to go to these phoebe bridgers concerts...
she is fostering a gatekept ahistory whereby her performances can only be documented orally. thus, to not attend would be to no longer exist in "reality" as she dictates it.
do i think ppls safety concerns are reasonable ? sure . do i understand their disappointment ? of course. but did people live without phones, attend shows, and live a full life for hundreds of years without leaving behind a digital record and survive ? Yes calm down
One idea that has revolutionized my thinking is this: you are allowed to not want things.
You can look at everything society tells you that you need to have and just be like, βNope. I will not be participating.β
@josiahhughes Like do you think every experience you miss out on, are unable to attend or witness firsthand, means that something has been taken from you? Or that reality is dictated by things you experience first hand? Many things about it are crazy
@josiahhughes Because you are not forced to attend a concert. Not being able to see it just means that you miss out on that experience. Which happens in life very often, where we must only hear about things from others rather than experiencing it ourselves
