Surprisingly hard to make meaning through work when everyone is home literally+psychologically. Otoh it’s hard to make meaning through home at all. Would you rather have a 100 households of 2.6 people each use your instagrammed recipe, or a single org of 260 people use your work?

The home is fun and all, but most civilization happens in larger aggregates.

At this point in my life I'm perfectly happy with domesticity and don't really miss F2F larger aggregates. I'm mindful of the fact that I would not have arrived at this point w/o all that life experience in those larger settings, and feel deeply for those who are now missing it.

I’m fine staying home. I just don’t want life being limited to home-scale things.

"Scale" is an interesting point. Not to trivialize it, but I really do think the physical scale of one's home has a big impact on how home feels.
A 700 sq ft apartment in NYC is going to feel a lot more restrictive than a 2700 sq ft home on an acre in TX.

I’m squeezed into 670 sq ft in downtown LA so yeeeeaaaaahhhh.... moving to a larger place first chance I get.
