I think that still makes sense. Sometimes it feels like stuff like streaming and amazon orders have reduced our need to leave our homes. In general, this is largely a good thing, but I fear that people are becoming a little too isolated and aren't being exposed to social interactions nearly as much. I don't think people know how to respectfully disagree anymore, and I think that might lead to higher tension and make socializing even harder on people. I'm only 35, but it really does feel like most kids are having a more passive childhood than I remember having, and many adults today also live passively while feeling nostalgic for their more actively lived childhood. I don't think people are particularly happy with life being this efficient and convenient.

So yeah, go out and get a movie and some Chinese food. Have a conversation with a stranger. I bet you'll enjoy that more than doordash and scrolling through netflix.
