Is Jay thinking that I'm smart?

Is Jay thinking I'm stupid?

Is Jay waiting to bait me with something?

I'm with you.

I'm present.

And that's very different from I'm here.

And I feel your presence with me.

That's not just you're here.

You know, much of the time these days, even if we are sitting together, I ask, this is a question I love to ask in an audience.

So how many of you spend a lot of time of the day on your laptop?

in front of a screen, whatever it is.

And all you want is to finally go home and get rid of the screen.

But then you get home and you're so tired that what you do is you watch TV.

And then while you're watching TV, you're also scrolling on your phone.

And then you turn around and there is someone sometimes sitting right next to you who's doing the exact same thing.

And then at some point, someone says something actually quite meaningful.

And then you have this other person responding with that most fantastic, uh-huh, uh-huh.

And you know that digital lag means they're there, but they're not really listening.

And in that moment, you experience a unique kind of loneliness.

It's the loneliness that says, are you here or are you not?
