We are living in truly testing times, in which our brains are flooded non-stop with a rising tide of slop alongside news so depressing, disheartening, and devastating that it can feel challenging to hold onto anything resembling hope. Many people live in a constant search of a way to cut out the noise and find some stillness. From silent retreats and digital detoxes to mindfulness apps and nearly a billion people following Spotify’s utterly insipid Chill Out Music playlist, culturally we are always being sold that the way to rest, relax, unwind, and switch off is to quieten things down.
However, sometimes the most effective way to clear something is to flood it.
