talking to people is like exercise, good & pleasant for some people and excruciating for others, and now optional

are you confusing "talking to random strangers at inconvenient times" w. "talking to people"? Early humans did only the 2nd

people are different

I tend to think that "introversion" like "ADHD" is a thing that emerges only under pretty bizarre conditions (like schools!)

the cause is mysterious - most people only enjoy exercise if they do it regularly, maybe hate it at first

posit: by unbundling the immediate benefits, we lost patterns for integrating exercise, conversation into our lives.

exactly - and every time you have less coercion, you have winners & losers - better patterns possible!

I'm not sure about this. I think there's a sort of coordination failure that is possible and horrible for ~everyone.
