> But, since most of us came from different places, took very different paths, there's huge cultural differences to overcome. See, in any other time up until say 1.5-2.5 decades ago (depending on your world location), this very fact would have been a wellspring of stimulating entertaining mildly-illuminating conversations from day to day. The prerequisite being "people feeling fundamentally / by-default at ease in something as primitively simple as just one anothers' company". I don't know why societies lose this and when. I do know that while they have it, they don't realize or notice it as anything special, that by the time it's gone, most don't remember it, and that it's quickly exhausted in the span of a decade to a generation or so. Then most of the few who have a vague awareness of "something's wrong now" quickly attribute it to "the wrath of gods" either literally or to some belief placeholder such as, chemtrails, bad nutrition, the monetary system, the consumerist society, peak fossil fuel decadence, private TV stations, video games, smartphones, their own aging, useless millenials etc and go on a crusade. Not helping in a fundamental sense.
