I don’t know; perhaps just something about how we could be making our world a little more aligned with the softer side of our humanity.
This reply is actually written from a 3 hour train journey. Personally, I’d rather “engage” with you through this comment than I wanna engage with any of the strangers that I see here around me - it might just be my introversion though. My larger point, I guess, is that smartphones might be like a personal window for each passenger to engage with whatever and whoever they feel like - how ever virtually...
Also, I just wanna say that I miss Space Deer too - and his spirit animal!!! (that character actually popped into my head the other day)
Thanks Hasse! I like it when you call it "Jonas-y"
I love that about smartphones too, I wouldn't want to to lose that. It would be sweet to have both options, maybe that's a little pointless though since phones are already very efficient. Hehe
I love that this newsletter got to you on a long train ride!
I don't think Space Deer had a spirit animal, but Blackbeard definitely did, a big ol' bear. Maybe that's who you were thinking of?
There is something to your thinking though. In Denmark there is an old chocolate company that sponsors a "generosity-themed" train around Christmas. It is a regular train covered in pink and students can use it for free to get a ride home for Christmas - except that you're meant to pay with some sort of "generous act". Maybe you've brought cookies to share with people on the train or maybe you've brought a guitar to share a couple of tunes. I know this in some way is kind of a different, radical and unsustainable version of what you considered but I always liked the thought of this being a thing :) - never got to try it though.
Oh right, Blackbeard! And yes, that bear is the one.
This particular page has lived somewhere in my mind for almost a decade now, hehe:
This one feels very “Jonas-y” :)

I love the idea of this generosity train! Thanks for telling me about it, maybe it's the closest existing thing to what I described.
That page is so peculiar! Glad that you remember it and fun to see that you commented on it way back then too.
