This actually doesn’t seem too bad. In a way it’s like a mini digital detox. I don’t really see anything wrong with it. Kinda weird to see ppl here acting like it’s “psycho” to try this. Humans haven’t had any kind of tech for 99.99% of their history, so kinda of just being alone with your thoughts has been the norm and what we basically evolved with. What’s actually “psycho” is thinking that constantly having something entertaining at your call and beckon is normal. To anyone that thinks otherwise, take a deep breath, step back, and really look inward and do some self-crit.
It’s only because it seems to be associated with red-pill stuff that ppl here seem to be so annoyed with it. If it was a marxist that advocated this, would ppl really be so upset? I could easily see Breht from Rev Left advocating for something like this. Honestly this just seems like “bad guy does stuff, so I don’t like” shit. Once again, the western left is basically just “vibes” and “feels” in a weirdly idealist way.
The weird part to me isn’t the digital detox, it’s doing it on a plane. If you went for a walk in the woods and left your phone at home I totally understand. Sitting out in a hammock with just your thoughts, sure. But a flight? With that constant roaring sound plus the noise of 200 people? Miss me with that.
From my experience most ppl on airplanes are pretty quiet.
have you never met a baby? because there’s usually at least one screaming baby, various chatter, slightly too loud intercom announcements, etc. and that’s all on the mid-price airlines not the budget.
Well, if you’re forced to be there, make the most of it? Actually you’re right, I would way rather try to deal with everything while stuck on a plane and then have some free time to be in the woods, but executive disfunction, so…
Right wingers always make something maybe a little medicinal and good into something a little bit extra weird that a marxist or any normal person would just never think of.
“this is how we’ve always lived so it’s good” 1) specious reasoning 2) false premise, the airplane is the very symbol of modernity. as an experience, flying economy on a commercial airline bears the most resemblance to a voyage at sea, which was far from a common experience for most people and also the most surefire way we had to drive someone absolutely insane. 3) books
I think its only because many/most people see flights as stressful unpleasant environments, not conducive to meditation or quiet relaxation. I don’t think its a sign of masculine strength or whatever to sit through a shitty flight with no distractions, but its not “psycho” either, I’m sure it works for some people. Shit sometimes I’ve done it accidentally, it’s the bragging about it and telling everyone about how many jealous DMs you get that is really stupid.

On the plane sound is really audible. From my experience most ppl on airplanes are pretty quiet.

I don’t think it’s “psycho”, but I only heard about it from dudes I come off as kind of chuddish flexing about it on social media.
They aren’t even staying away from electronics though! They’re still staring at a screen, just a relatively boring one with flight info on it.
