 We seem to be more connected. It's easier to talk to people. It's easier to meet people. Yet there seems to be this epidemic of loneliness. Correct. It's terrifying, man. The most common answer to the question, how many friends do you have that you could call on in an emergency is zero. That's fucking terrifying. In a world where we are more connected than ever before, people are feeling more alone. Being lonely is as bad for your health as smoking a pack of 10 cigarettes every single day. The problem is, everybody as far as I can see is being sedated out of things that are good for them. What is convenient is not always what's good for you. In the same way as a child might always want to have ice cream for dinner, they need to be told that they can't. Even though they want it, it's not necessarily what's good for them. But when you create a world where convenience is paramount, when you can Uber eat a Michelin star meal to the couch that you Amazon primed yesterday to be built by some guy that you paid for on TaskRabbit to then watch Netflix from the comfort of your home, all of this is constrained just described my last Saturday.
