I know if silence is so good for us, why aren't we doing more of it? There's a few answers to that. I mean, there might be some things that we're, you know, uncomfortable with or not wanting to face about our lives or behavior or whatever the way things are going that make it challenging and certainly challenging.

So, and my teenager will tell you awkward silence is the worst thing under the sun to go through. So there's, I think some nervousness and varying degrees of fear. So it's not just our personal choices that we're not, you know, choosing silence when it's so clearly good for us.

It's also we have systems that are driving towards more content and data, whether it's eyeballs on a page and click through there. Our pristine attention is valued at zero or time playing with children or looking at art or walking through nature. But if we're clicking through and eyeballs on a page, it's being valued by GDP.

Apparently not. But there is a lot of value, which takes us back to that silence is golden. So speech is silver, silence is golden is that aphorism that shows up in cultures all over the world. And the polymath Thomas Carlyle, he liked to think of that as speeches of time, silences of eternity.
