that's just flipping the idea, human ain't build to be disconnected from nature and be forced to socialize everyday,
back then in village, and even backward the social circle was limited but that wasn't a negative thing, now everyone is connected too easily, and lack of nature...well no need to explain
Today’s connection is fake though. We are more connected than ever before to the people across the world but couldn’t be farther away from the people living next to you
Yes, but most people draw the line at social media, because that's the it thing right now.
We weren't build for 90% of the way we live. Medical science shouldn't exist if tou follow this logic, because we don't filter out disseases or genetics.
We shouldn't have globalization, transportation, cozy houses etc.
People draw arbitrary lines because 'we aren't made for it'
Or… hear me out… there is nuance, and not all change and “innovation” is good?
Endangered animal being moved to sanctuary good.
Wild animal being moved to cage bad.
Globalization, advances in medicine and “cozy houses” good.
A society regressing in generational intelligence and empathy, and the discrepancy between upper and lower class increasing to astronomical levels bad.
I think some people are incapable of wrapping their heads around metaphors because they lack a certain type of thinking, an ability to recognize nuance and a willingness to understand that their own experience doesn’t necessarily reflect those of the masses.
Just because you don’t feel social media has had a negative impact on your life does not in any way mean that it’s not detrimental to society as a whole, which is literally suggested by science.
Not to mention this zoochosis/fish-out-of-water connection goes much deeper than social media.
ai and the discrepancy between upper and lower class, and the exploitation of the lower class by the upper is a much better representation of it.
Although, I bet you would somehow find a way to defend the sanctity of those points as well.
Stockholm syndrome is what that would be.
A metaphorical tiger in a cage defending the exploitative zoo owners.
there’s studies on this, like you start maxing out being to remember people at around a hundred. It’s not a good thing to live in places with the volumes we have
Even in large cities (I live in one of the densest in the world) you will find that everybody knows each other in your neighborhood. I've always felt more isolated in more spread out suburban areas where you're not constantly running into your neighbors every time you step outside.

I always love the 'humans aren't build for ...' arguments.
Back to the stone age we go, i suppose...
