A longtime college mate and good old pal of mine reminded me that my footprint is way too big. Thanks, laid-back Lenny. I’ve given it plenty of thought, and he’s correct..
I don’t want to download an app just to pay for something, create an account to order from a menu, or leave feedback after every transaction. I simply wish to exist in the physical world without a digital leash.
And given the exorbitant cost of healthcare and medical tests, Lenny will probably suggest we all pee under a tree and let nature handle the diagnostics: if ants gather, it’s diabetes; if the grass dries up, high salt; if it smells like barbecue, high cholesterol. And if someone forgets to pull up their pants—or zip up, well, that’s Alzheimer’s.
Apparently, the future of medicine is part wilderness survival, part questionable science.
Most friends and relatives use FaceBook, Instagram, What’s App, Twitter, X but I rely on this blog and LinkedIn cause I refuse to become SuckerBird and the smell of musk is not appealing.
The world is on fire. It is another reason to become a digital nomad on City Island - A Slice of NYC Paradise.
