We're all lonelier than we want to be, and we all think it's our fault.
It isn't.
Modernity has been optimized for labor, not for life. The result is the destruction of spaces and institutions in which you can make new connections as an adult.
And in a very real sense, this is what the owners want—if you are alone, you cannot organize resistance to inhumane conditions. Instead, you spend your time further optimizing yourself for labor, telling yourself (and others on LinkedIn) that you are living the dream. It's someone's dream, alright.
I don't have a master plan for how to reclaim a sense of local community, but I know that without it, we'll never be as united or as strong as we could be.
