There is a epidemic of lonliness in the USA why is this?
With cell phones, the internet? I'm wondering, are those two things indeed the exact problem?

@SirenCalledLuce Ironic isn't it?
@SirenCalledLuce they were too busy looking for food and protecting themselves from wild. Busy people feel less lonely, less depressed

@mysteryespresso And with more people working at home, more isolation, it becomes more of a chore to socialize. Sitting at a desk in front of a computer is more draining than plowing the lower forty. People are too exhausted physically but wanting mentally.
@Grateful4you If I'm not wrong AI and automation will only make it worse and you'll see people working online, away from home, maybe from some island or forest area

@mysteryespresso There is going to be a huge surge (and little supply) of homemade goods, handicrafts, etc. If I were starting out in life I would learn woodworking, people love good old natural handcrafted furniture etc. Also, teahouses (like in Japan) will be the next big thing. Young people can earn a fortune learning the art of herbal teas and creating a meditative, ambient environment while making a fortune. Mark my words on this, I've rarely been wrong.
