Ever had someone ask “how are you?”, on text? Or ask you about how an experience was for you, on text? Or ask about how you feel, on text?
Did that leave you feeling hollow? Is it not a mere invitation to perform phatic communication between shadows who have forgotten they are finite?
In an era of proxies, where likes forever pale in comparison to awe, texts purport presence, images imitate nearness, and emoji reactions pretend to be emotion, we no longer connect; we perform. Not for Text is a counter force to that performance.
Dr. Richie Davidson and Cortland Dahl’s new book Born to Flourish highlights connection as a core muscle of well‑being, rightfully so. In the words of Vivek Murthy, "This is about staying human, and it’s something we have to figure out together."
Every click is a memento mori. Every text, like, emoji react, a reminder that what truly matters must be lived.
So the next time you fancy not performing, and inviting the other to the real, reply with https://www.notfortext.com
