I remember feeling like it wasn’t that big of a deal at the time. In hindsight it’s a huge deal.
Seems like we don’t just naturally socialize with those around us. We need reasons, even if the reason is extreme boredom.
TV was the first big hit community took in this paradigm, though books probably were devastating too in their day.
I don’t know how you roll that back. I guess either through cultural backlash (doubtful) or something better that does encourage community building.
The addiction theme some are mentioning is so true. If the solution effectively requires putting society through AA, I don’t have much hope.
Is there a wildly addictive, community-building form of boredom avoidance out there to create or advocate for?
