“The people who want to control us through fear and misinformation—the corporations, marketers, politicians—want us to be plugged into our phones or watching TV, because then they can sell us their vision of the world. If we do not get outside, if we do not take a walk out in the fresh air, we do not see our everyday world for what it really is, and we have no vision of our own with which to combat misinformation.”

  2. This is an amazing summary of such important advice. It is scary to me, how people go around, even on walks outdoors attached to all that online stuff. I don't own a smart phone & seem to be in quite a minority for it. Thank you again for your writing, your curating, your posts. Sketchbook Wandering

    1. You're so welcome, Rita! I am currently trying to disengage from my phone a bit more. I'm spending too much time online overall. I should take my own advice!
