Hyper-novelty is a term used to describe the rate of change in our modern environments outstripping our biological ability to adapt to those changes.
Can we, as individuals, do anything about this discombobulating rapid rate of change?
The answer is, of course (!): yes!
We can opt to consciously regulate our nervous system responses to modern environments by steering clear of those activities that hyper-stimulate us, and choosing to do activities that require much less nervous system stimulation. Like writing, reading, practicing a musical instrument. Those sorts of things.
Low stiumulus activities.
An example of a low-stimulus activity that I would implore you to get going on is creating your own videos, in whatever format you like, to flesh out some of yuor complex thoughts.
This is crucial for our age! The internet is such a powerful tool that's being wasted on silly things and unproductive things.
We can create an attractive basin that will eventually pick up its own speed, and pull at least a small bit of the internet into a more sensible, exciting place!
