My guess is that we're collectively victims of an individualist society. We want our safe home and we don't want to share it with other people, we want intimacy, but we have too much of it: our own kitchen, living room, bathrooms, even transport is exclusive.
We should live together in small groups, at least spend the morning and evening together to eat, that should NOT be exclusive to families.
It's almost like family values are trying to exclude "undesirables". Why do people want to be in family? That's weird.
You know what? Americans are going to call this communism, 100%. But living as a collective IS WHAT SOCIAL SPECIES DO.
- kardianos 3y agoNo, people used to do things like social dancing, folk dancing, and Elks lodge, church. We stopped doing these "family friendly" things, and then we discovered that's not good.

This is sort of what coworkers do for lunch, but thats one consequence of more WFH/Remote initiatives. Forget Third Place, we may lose our Second Place within the decade for some industries. Thing is a lot of people seem fine with this. They have families and it's a very common response to say "My best friend is my wife" or "I don't need work to make friends". To my charaign as someone not interested in a romantic relationship right now, many people seem to isolate by their own will.
