I wonder why many feel the urge to define a posture and motive in the Discourse. My one big meta thought is that it’s better to be in the discourse than out of it. Beyond that I have no strong views on how/why to be here or what to do here now that I’m committed to being here.

It already feels that way. When I talk to Very Offline people (that should be the labeled exceptional state, with Very Online being the unlabeled default), either elderly like my parents, or young waldenponders, it’s like they’re missing a dimension of aliveness.

Another example is money and being in/out of currency based commerce world. Trying to live off the money grid entirely feels like missing a basic dimension of aliveness rooted in buying and selling. Goes without saying I also enjoy being Very Currencified and buying/selling.

I think I’d hate being in a non-monetary world where all commerce was based on communitarian sharing or something. Ugh. Shut up and take my money. And buy my shit for money too. I don’t need us to always also be friends or in each other’s Dunbar sets. Commerce is great.
