Great piece. Thank you. Always love to read some Foucault-based thoughts on modern culture (I wrote a piece on his work and yoga studios recently.)

I’m part of the generation who created rave. And everyone I know from those days perspective I have spoken to about this seems to agree that dance music and raves would never have happened if we’d had phones.

There will be less people who remember what it was to not have phones on the dance floor. It seems that there is a movement growing to reject phones in a small number of places but I feel the ones posting for the purpose of clicks and ridicule should face more consequences. What are your thoughts ?

Brilliant post. Let’s extend the phone ban to all communal spaces, might just help accelerate the decline of social media, and honestly, that wouldn’t be such a bad thing.

Imagine being unable to read long form content for the purpose of forming a cogent argument.

Why don't you take a(ny)paragraph - or even a sentence - and engage with it? It's much more fun to be dancing on the dancefloor rather than sniping from the sideline.
