Dial-Up Your Life Philosophy

Dial-Up Your Life Philosophy

It's not nostalgia we seek, but real answers. The difference between the 1990's and now can be described in many ways, but to understand why it all matters there is a simple lifestyle you can impose on yourself.

The modern threat is the act of browsing. The more we browse, the more the paradox of choice sets in, and the fear of missing out. Browsing both content and comments affects the mind in a way that causes a withdrawal from long form content. In order to reactivate appreciation for long form content, a person must totally abstain from the act of browsing content, the act of watching short form content, and the act of reading comments or leaving comments. This is a major component to Dialing-Up your life, this restriction will leave you wondering what to do next.

Physical Media Only Lifestyle is naturally what comes next, since you cannot browse content online any longer. You can go thrifting, garage sales, Kijiji (Local online market), pawn shops, Ebay, ect. It is extremely fun to build a physical media collection, and it takes very little space if arranged in more conservative ways. When shopping for physical media, I recommend buying something just because the cover looks cool. Explore not only new genres, but eras. Enjoy vinyl, cassettes, black and white films, silent films, films shot on film,
