Part of the world is the outside, without external stimulus of music or a screen.

I can consume all those things without music playing steadily in my ears, and I would venture to say I prefer to enjoy arts, history, geography, literature, science, philosophy, film, games etc. without steady noise being pumped into my skull. Sometimes I do it while conversing with another person or several people.

At other times, I can listen to music. But I don’t complain that life has lost its lustre because my phone can’t play my music!
