Summer House, Why I Love Rave Culture, and Feeling Fully Alive

In this episode of Note 2 Self, Saskia is deep in her AI era... obsessed with finding ways to automate and streamline her life so she can protect the time and energy for the things that actually matter. The ones that fill you back up. The ones you cannot plan or optimise. And it's that idea that quietly runs through everything in this episode.From the Summer House betrayal that has consumed reality TV culture and the question of when, if ever, it is acceptable to date a friend's ex, to Sabrina Carpenter and Madonna sharing a stage at Coachella in a moment that made Saskia cry. This episode is full of the kind of pop culture that is really about something deeper. Connection. Loyalty. What it looks like when art gives a room full of people the same feeling at the same time.That leads into the main topic: rave culture, and three reasons Saskia loves it more than almost any other experience. The community, the energy, and the physical world that a great show creates. Because somewhere between the research on social bonding and a story about standing under pillars of fire at Burning Man feeling like she was on another planet, something becomes clear. We are all chasing the same thing. The feeling of being fully alive in a moment. And you cannot get that from a productivity tool. You just have to show up. Tune in now.
