Thought-provoking piece from NYT’s Roger Cohen:
“In his great poem
“The City,” C.P. Cavafy wrote that: “As you’ve wasted your life here, in this
small corner, you’ve destroyed it everywhere else in the world.” We never
escape our own skins, nor our lives lived to this point, however far we go in
search of escape. But today’s trap, fashioned through technology, is of a
different nature. The homogenization of experience is also an insidious
invitation to conform.”
