Wow, this one was absolutely brilliant. Great insights Steve. Unfortunately all of it is invalidated by your take on butter tarts, but I'm going to take up your challenge regardless.
Saw Charlie Angus last night on his 'Resistance' tour and he talked about the importance of community in the resistance of fascism, so I am appreciating his talk meshing with your helpful video highlighting these loneliness statistics. Thanks!
Based on this mornings video response, an underrated reason some people are lonely is because they’re jerks. But I opted to focus on systems and structures instead
Before the pandemic all the emotionally disregulated were buffered by the caring/giving people.
During the pandemic the caring people realized how nice it was not to have to deal with the jerks. Meanwhile, the jerks were left to stew on their own and the result wasn't good.
