But then we don't translate it into real life.
We're more disconnected than ever.
So talk to me about that dichotomy.
I think that we are living a fantastic contradiction.
We've never been more connected and we have never been more disconnected.
Modern loneliness masks itself as hyper-connectivity.
So you think you're talking to people...
And I would say even more like this.
Modern loneliness is not about not having people.
It's about the lack of depth.
It doesn't replace to have these conversations online.
And in fact, they're often done in nine seconds increments.
That is not really the time needed to address major existential questions.
If you don't see the person you're talking to, you can express yourself in all kinds of uncivilized way because there is no consequences.
So that contradiction of what does it mean to really connect and what are the conditions necessary?
And that is back to this issue of friction, because it means that you practice that.
disagreement, frustration, being misunderstood, understanding others, truly listening, listening again because you thought you got it, but you didn't really because you didn't listen till the end because half the time when we listen, we're busy with our rebuttal.
That's a different degree of connection.
Ask a question when somebody tells you something before you draw a conclusion about what they're saying.
Ask another question.
