>Because while the digital world has removed all friction, the physical world is where the friction still lives. Not the good kind, the effort of doing something hard, the kinetic potential of possibility, but the bad kind: the exhaustion of trying to hold together systems that no one’s willing to invest in anymore. Basically a refutation of informational and societal automation. They describe the increasingly 'seamless' interfaces we are faced with as passing the said friction elsewhere. Lack of this friction, or responsibility to it results in a numbness and lack of awareness to the workings of our world, while as well leaving some of us wondering our causes of suffering.
