what experiment?

I’ve ghosted the social media platforms where I know most of my connections personally. But I still want to keep in touch with people and I’d like to see what it’s like to live in a world without f*cabook or *nstagram. This will be the main way I’ll communicate about the Big Things I’ve been thinking about.

the real reason for this experiment isn’t that i’m anti-f*cebook although I probably am. It’s that what I’m trying to do is rescue the concept of “intimacy” from extinction. There are consequences to changing how we communicate with each other and to the fact that we’re communicating with each other largely through commercially-mediated applications. This is what I’m currently exploring. This is the Big Thing that I’ve been thinking about a lot lately.
