Great essay. There's definitely already an observable IRL counterculture in the very young. I think like all counterculture, it exists as the other side of the coin to (url) culture and +1 generation may see a counter to that counter. Both flavors of culture will forever be exist inside the scope of tech itself. In the last month we've had 2 people leave their house IRL and set themselves on fire for URL. I think the road to getting by in the world now is just acknowledging all that.
WILL FOREVER EXIST. Omg sorry, posting this from the beach (Yes I am outside irl and reading url, no, I have not burned myself to death yet). Also drinking.
Great to meet you, man. Thanks for coming out to our event.
