Yeah. Everyone says the media causes loneliness, but I think that misses the mark. A more likely cause is that modernity gives people no path to making allies - you can get by without having anyone who will back you in a fight - but people still feel terrible when they don't have allies, for evolutionary reasons. Maybe one individual solution is to take risks together with other people: startups, joint creative projects, and so on.
