Although a really cool study came out recently that showed that
They sort of asked people how happy they are throughout the day, like every minute of the day, and then asked what they were doing.
And it turns out that people were always happier when whatever they were doing, whether it was exercising or reading, they were doing in the company of other humans.
I should say, I keep saying humans, but it could be a pet.
Sure.
Well, it's a little bit of a nuanced question, right?
Because social media does help us connect sometimes or lots of times with other people.
I mean, it's amazing.
Here's an example.
I have four kids, and so I've had lots of au pairs.
Most of them have come from Germany and other countries.
And it's amazing.
They used to come, and they would feel so lonely.
And now they come, and they're connected with their family and friends in Germany all day long.
I mean, that's amazing, right?
That's an amazing invention, amazing technology.
And of course, if you have sort of kind of rare interest or a rare disease or some kind of problem, you know, it's amazing to have those networks, right?
And so I definitely want to like say affirm that that's true as well.
On the other hand, we were talking about what are human beings wired for?
We are wired for face-to-face interactions involving face-to-face, but also involving voice.
