Loneliness x The Island Thought Experiment | Ep 2


Listen Later

If you're alone but communicating in Morse code, are you really alone? 

One of us embraces a form of connection that requires patience (and possibly a manual), while the other examines the quiet genius of British solitude. 

Meanwhile: A nostalgic look at letter writing, the surprising emotional impact of slow communication, and the realization that true isolation might be harder to find than we think.

Listen in, then join the weekly conversation at our Substack (https://thescreenfreelife.substack.com/)—because the experiment doesn’t end here. 🏝️

Whatever you choose, you chose it for a reason. This isn’t just a game—it’s deep exploration, a little unexpected, and exactly the kind of conversation that sticks with you long after you’ve left the island.
