They are friction makers, right?

Humans create friction.

And so sitting on our couch and sending a text or sitting on our couch and scrolling instead of putting on our clothes, going out in the cold, having dinner with a friend where there might be some awkward conversation or they may say something that disappoints us, that it is very easy to escape that.

relationships in technology.

But what it is doing is that it is making us feel lonely and like we matter less.

And so all of these things, these ecosystems that no longer exist, tech selling us this idea that life should be frictionless, they really pulled us away from relationships that once delivered pretty regularly this sense of mattering for us.

So I do think it's a modern phenomenon.

And with the advent of the AI, I think it's only going to get worse if we don't stop, name this need that all of us have, and understand how to meet it for ourselves and for the people in our lives that we care about.

Amazing.

Thanks so much.
