A culture doesn't require that people meet up and agree on some way of doing things. Hence a counterculture does not need to be organized or even acknowledged while in process. It just happens and then gets written about a decade later.

Imagine the Instagram posts profiling the weirdos like myself who simply have not been using Instagram for the past decade for the Instagram audience.

"What do you do when you visit a scenic vista, if not take pictures?"

"I look at it for a time and leave."

Reminds me of the tyranny of the remembering self.

How much would you pay for a vacation where you can’t take any pictures and your memory is erased afterwards?

I stopped taking pictures on vacation (and other events) quite a while ago because I realized I never look at them later. So I spend the time being more focused on the actual thing, and have better memories. I wouldn't like the memory erased thing.

I find that is a mortons fork sort of thing - you basically can wind up with regrets for taking and not taking pictures.

Does "memory" include fundamental changes to the self and perception along with personal growth due to exposure to new experiences and situations and time away from the grind?
