I sometimes feel that I've been waterboarded by information, dopamine peaks and overflow of news. Even if I don't seek them.

There's little room for slowness in our lives, that's why printed books are losing traction. I'm trying to overcome this by carrying around pocket-sized books and reading them in the bus, in the queue...whenever I would take out my smartphone, for instance. Clearly, not being already social-media-brainwashed helps a lot...I cannot imagine an Instagram addicted to swap his/her attention easily from the flashy IG thread to a Schopenhauer essay.

But I trust people and I think that things will eventually turn again in favour of stories, slowness and immersion. Eventually I only care about the people around me...I need them to value this approach, not the whole mankind. I'm ok with the relatives, girlfriend, friends seeing the value in these...and that's where my attention is ultimately.
