Hypothesis: few people actually *want* a full-blown community past about 25. They just think they do. It’s a lot of time and work to be involved in “community” in the sense of shared beyond-family communal daily life (meals etc) and weekly parties, seeing friends everyday etc.

Like, I never put real intentionality into “spend more time with people you like better and less with people you like less”, but everyone ELSE sure as hell started doing that
