You're doing the Lord's work. Thank you so much for that, even though I don't directly benefiting from it.

There is an epidemic of disconnection and loneliness, Putnam and others are 100% right. There's an organized effort by some people to isolate humans from each other as much as possible, and they have their own swarm of useful idiots to aide them.

The solution to this problem needs explicit action, this is not something that will take care of itself, or people would adapt to it.

I bought a domain recently, https://clubs.fyi that I will devote to this purpose of human connection[1], if anyone wants to join shoot me an email, there's nothing there yet but there will be stuff in a week or so. :)

1. Not connection in the SF-sense like Facebook, Meetup, etc.
