Everything you’ve said is true, but also you literally cannot replicate in-person interaction. Perhaps one day we will be able to trick our lizard brains with virtual interactions, but we can’t do it at present. There is no replacement for touching, feeling, smelling, and seeing. You can have meaningful relationships online but you are absolutely missing out if you’re only interactions are digital.
- kevinventullo 4y agoI don’t know about you, but I don’t tend to touch, feel, or smell my IRL acquaintances all that often.
- parkingrift 4y agoI’d love to see the contraption you wear to dull your sense of touch or smell. Must be impressive.
- kevinventullo 4y agoMy sense of smell is fine, I just don’t often find the occasion to smell my friends.
- DavidSJ 4y agoBut literally no one in this thread is saying otherwise. We’re just saying online friends are real and shouldn’t be demeaned with scare quotes, and also you’re probably missing out if your only interactions are local.
