to save time. right now you have to spend an hour or two with a person to know if they reduce your loneliness or not. and if only 5% of people have the attribute, that's a LOT of time you have to put into solving this problem

by “loneliness-solving” do you mean they like you also try to solve *their* loneliness, or do you mean they solve *your* loneliness? i ask, because if the latter, then isn’t that simply the whole solution to your problem?

the latter, i'm looking for people that make me feel less lonely but i don't follow, what is the solution?

oh i thought you meant something beyond simply finding those people you don’t feel lonely with. i think people generally use heuristics such as sharing the same interests, identifying with the same subculture, etc. etc.

to be more clear and less allusive (bad habit): loneliness is precisely that behavioural algorithm which causes us to go out there and try to solve that loneliness problem

@KevinSimler here (perhaps i’m being lonely?), he would recognise this explanatory strategy1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
loneliness and a who-solves-loneliness-classifier are different things though. and it's possible the classifier is very simple (eg maybe talking to people wearing green shirts makes me less lonely)
