I would say that the biggest problem…It’s the decline of our relationships, the decline of our institutions, the isolation, the lack of practice. If you’re not practicing being in relationships, you’re not practicing working in institutions, you’re not practicing being involved with other people—it’s not only friends. It’s actually, more importantly, relationships. If you don’t have those relationships, you don’t have that practice, too much of your focus will be on politics. You will easily be more mistrustful of other people because you don’t have a lot of experience in trusting relationships.
Yeah, believe it or not, people are allowed to hold different values and make different judgements than you
I never said otherwise. If people value a society where everybody hates each other, never sees one another, and everything is inefficient, then good for them.
But I value a society that actually functions instead of one that hobbles along. I don’t want to live in a soul-less backrooms level.
