I had a fight with a 16-year-old a couple years ago that they, her and her friends, send voice messages to each other.

And I said, why don't you just pick up the phone and call each other?

She goes, we are.

I'm like, no, you're not.

You're sending voice memos to each other.

She genuinely believed that that was a conversation.

Right?

It's not a conversation.

It's a disjointed.

It's listening to my answering machine and then leaving somebody's message on their answering machine.

And that's what it is just in real time.

It's just quicker.

Right?

But I think that, and when we feel a little lonelier down, because we have such facility with the stuff,

we go to the stuff to be a balm for that feeling of loss or loneliness we have.

It's not that different for any why alcoholics drink or, you know, which is alcoholics drink only for a finite number of reasons, which is social stress, career stress, and social stress.

That's pretty much it.
