Tell you what...I'll go around using my phone to look cool which contributes to others wanting to buy phones to look cool which is what makes our modern economy work, while you sit at home stuffing cash under the mattress in your 1 bedroom apartment waiting for the end of modern civilization like a good conspiracy theorist and only living a bare minimum lifestyle. I promise you will absolutely succeed in not looking cool.
