The Importance of Staying Off the Internet

I think we live in a culture that believes that if it's not Googleable, it doesn't exist. The majority of my time I spend with things that are not online, meaning books. Every citation, every footnote is essentially a hyperlink to some other source.

We have this enormous arrogance of just culturally that no one's thought about these things before. Find something that is 100 years old that articulates it more beautifully and poignantly.
