“The Loneliness Epidemic” (20 min) looks like it will be a
lecture on the need for socialization.
Matt D’Avella interviews author Johann Hari (“Lost
Connections: Why You’re Depressed and How to Find Hope”)
We are a “lonely”.
There was a question: “How many close friends could you turn to in a
crisis?” A few decades ago the answer is
five. Today it is zero.
Like Sebastian Junger he believes humans evolved to live in
a tribe, and now the individualists try to disband our tribes.
Yet, I am really non-tribal, and tend to admire other
non-tribalists (as if that became a new tribe).
You can always bring up the idea that social media allows us to do without really letting other people be more important in person -- the digital minimalism idea.
