sure, and that comes from the social breakdown

we have an alarmist media, low social trust, and the narrative of overwhelming issues that will fuck the average person

that's a fair assessment

But my mind thinks that I am a missing something

If you dont have strong internal morals, it's easy to get lost in the frivolity and mundanity

these are people who would have been fathers if they A) trusted enough to invest in the future and B) had people they felt comfortable investing in

What a a growing amount of people are having trouble with is a place they can belong.

yes, because nobody is building up

every transaction, every relationship you have, is held on a temporary basis now

you dont really know me. I dont really know you

You mean... your name isnt really beeman?!?!

we may interact in here every day for the next year, but we'll never actually see each other. You cant count on me to watch your kids or take part in a community watch, or look out for your localized needs

Hit the nail on the head

that's happening even on a personal, face-to-face level though

it's not just like that online though, it's like that in meatspace as well

mhm

which is... sad

Partially to blame is social media

it's been happening for years

Yeah

And internetting

been reading Bowling Alone

predates the internet

started in the 60s and 70s

Like, my spawn has been asking me to look for someone and settle down so she can have siblings

but

that whole idea of trusting someone enough to make the next generation with them

lmao

out the fucken window

Understood

I dont think the internet has caused the issue, I think the internet has merely exposed it

the extent of it

the internet exacerbated it I think

and yeah, shed a light on it

but it certainly didn't start it

I found someone to spawn new humans with and She and I see things very similarly 😋

but basically real civic participation is low, trust is low, consistent groups are dead or dying

Good for you mate

No sarcasm, serious blessings

Anyways I’m gonna call it a night I will talk to you guys later be safe get some soup do you want to 118 push-ups squats and pull-ups well counting in the periodic table take care.
