Comment on DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media

What’s the point of having the experience when our memory deteriorates?
See how stupid that argument sounds?
Guess what, you can do both!

I can’t note anything sound ‘stupid’ there.
Experiences AND memories do vanish. That’s a fact, it’s completely natural and fine and it’s not a general necessity to fight against that. I found that it is possible to accept transience.
Guess what, we can have new experiences any moment.
Spending much time and money to preserve all the present experiences without gaps and to combat the fleeting nature of all things and to capture every moment of my life for the future seems wasteful. I did this too in the past but the older I get the more I find that I’d rather spend my time in the present moment.
Not having so much, being more. The more we collect and accumulate, the more that holds us back.
But hey, I don’t want to discourage anyone and I can understand the approach.
