We have a definite problem with human-human interaction. We are socially orientated beings. It is in our very design to yearn for close relationships to ensure our safety. I think theres a huge opportunity for community & space restructuring to reduce this lonliness epidemic.
Ooooh. I guess that might be true to an extent. But I'd me more inclined to say that it's natural, and that things take advantage of this weakness. Here's a pretty video on it if you'd like https://youtu.be/n3Xv_g3g-mA

I'm not saying loneliness has been engineered, but if we're talking of an epidemic... well I think that's been largely engineered. A famous British politician in the 80s said "Society does not exist". That was her ambition, and she succeeded to a large degree. It's not just here

If we look at our tech and the way that social media sucks up so much attention... it creates these tiny suggestions of connection, but the more time we spend on it, the less connected we actually are in our real lives.

It feels natural from centuries of it. But the really nasty bit: We contextualize If we're hungry and busy with something We get angry If we're tired and it's not late at night We feel lonely
