Thank you for your kind words :) I believe one way to integrate this in modern life is to find micro-communities that have a "digital first, real life follow" principle. Where you want to contribute, but you are not bombarded with daily engagement, but maybe weekly or once a month. low tech, high touch.
There is also a funny old Zen saying/proverb
"If you don't have time to meditate for an hour, you should meditate for two hours"
Thanks for the reply. I love that saying! But it makes me wonder if I can connect my digital platform to something in real life. Gave me something to think about.
I really like this! You're so right - technology could be used in such a human and community building way - I feel it's very much become about something very capitalist and individualist rather than simply having a good time with people!
I really liked this piece and title... I wonder when we are stretched thin for time how is the best way to go about participating in communities?

Let me know if you have any interesting reflections about it :)
Brute force...
Can’t agree more!!!
Thank you :)
I've heard of it, but I never spent much time online
Yes, these were the early days of the Internet (end of 90s, early 2000s) and geek/nerd culture. This was all veeeeery niche back then.
