And so I think that that's something that I think was gearing up that just like, I mean, even if you wanna talk about
2020 exposed a lot of stuff because just people being like inside for two months and not having the air and the pictures, the aerial pictures of cities was like incredibly clean.
It looked like whole cities were healed in a month, you know?
And so I think that as far as an epidemic of loneliness, there are certain practices that are gonna be really hard to get out of just because it's human nature.
Like for instance, even with the phone, there's that phantom reach.
Have you heard about that?
I haven't heard about that, but I've done it.
The Phantom reaches this thing where let's say you are on like a cruise ship and you have no reception and your phone is useless and you have all these people around you to talk to.
Even if you are, whether you're a kid or you're middle-aged, there will be times throughout the day, just because of how much we're on our phones, that you'll reach for your phone and you may even open it and then be like, oh wait, yeah, I can't do anything with this.
And those are some of the only indicators that we have of how much we're actually on our phone.

Absolutely. I think that there is a space for it, but I don't think the left fills that void at all at this moment. I try to do so, but even I sometimes get hit with the, this is body fascism.

What does even the term body fascism mean? I don't fully understand it. I think it's like a lot of leftists hate other leftists. Any sort of consideration about the aesthetics of how you look is actually another way to, I guess, reinforce an unjustifiable hierarchy. To be fair, that's why I don't work out.
